Union Thrash D.C. United 6-0 to Seize Supporters’ Shield Control

The rout puts Philadelphia one perfect finish from clinching the Supporters’ Shield.

Overview

  • Inter Miami drew 1-1 at Toronto earlier in the day, erasing Miami’s games-in-hand cushion and opening the path for Philadelphia to finish first by winning its last two matches.
  • Indiana Vassilev scored twice, Milan Iloski produced a goal with two assists, Mikael Uhre came on early and added a goal with two assists, and Bruno Damiani also scored.
  • Quinn Sullivan left in the 13th minute after an early injury, leading to Uhre’s introduction and a quick assist on the opener.
  • Leading scorer Tai Baribo was unavailable due to yellow-card accumulation, shaping the Union’s starting attack.
  • D.C. United, already eliminated from playoff contention, recorded its worst result under René Weiler and tied its biggest defeat of the season at home.
