Taking a page from the first team playbook, Philadelphia Union Academy's U15 outpressed and turned defense into offense as they defeated Bundesliga-side Bayern Munich's U14 side, 6-0!
Playing three periods of 30 minutes each, the Union Academy led 1-0 after Anisse Saidi finished off a scramble in the Bayern box after a Union corner kick. The Boys in Blue took over in the second period, outscoring the German side by three via a penalty kick finish from Peyton Presson. Immediately after the goal the Union press forced a turnover with Saidi sending a back-post cross that was finished off by Kellan LeBlanc.
Lewis Daley notched his first of two goals late in the second period, finishing of a play that was set up by teammate Peyton Presson. Up by four goals, the Union kept pushing and were rewarded with a pair of spectacular goals from Gunnar Graham and then Daley's second of the afternoon.
The U15s conclude their preseason in Europe on Friday with a battle against F.C. Südtirol. Kick off is set for 9 a.m. ET and will be streamed on PhiladelphiaUnion.com.
