Philadelphia Union U15s beat New England to advance to MLS Next Cup final

For the first time in Philadelphia Union Academy history, a team will have a chance to cap a season with a trophy.

Bajung Darboe played with his age group for the first time this season and scored a spectacular first half brace and the back line anchored by center backs Gavin Wetzel and Daniel Krueger in front of goalkeeper Andrew Rick kept the Revs in check for the 2-0 win.

New England, coached by former MLS vet Shalrie Joseph, came out on the front foot and looked the more likely side to open the scoring but the Union had the first clear chance through Gael Medrano, whose shot on frame was denied by a solid save from Revs keeper Ryan Carney.
