Another youth player from Florida has joined the Philadelphia Union Academy.
Andres Sanchez made his debut for the Philadelphia Union U16 team on Saturday in a 1-1 draw with Cedar Stars Academy. The 16-year-old checked into the game in the 63rd minute, playing the final 17 minutes of the 80-minute match.
He joins the Union’s academy ranks from the Davie United Sharks Soccer Club in southern Florida, where he was the leading goal-scorer in the US Youth Soccer Region III championships and scored two goals in the national championships last summer.
You can see both of his goals at nationals in a game against Sparta (at the five-minute mark and a PK he converted in the 76th minute) in the video below.
