Shut out by two opponents from New England over the weekend, the Philadelphia Union Academy U18 team has lost hold of not only the top spot in the league standings but also in their own division.
The U18s played to a frustrating scoreless draw at YSC Sports on Saturday against FC Boston Bolts and followed it up with a 1-0 loss to New England Revolution on Sunday at Power Training Complex. The lone goal in the two matches was scored by 16-year-old Revolution forward Timothy Ennin in the 51st minute on Sunday.
Jahmali Waite recorded the clean sheet on Saturday, his fifth of the season and Emmanuel Perez made his first appearance since October as a second half substitute, but beyond that there isn’t a lot to draw from the game reports from the two-game set.
