Marcello Mazzola had a hat trick to lead the Philadelphia Union U17s to a 3-1 win over Camden County College in a friendly Saturday afternoon at the Power Training Complex in Chester.
Mazzola scored an impressive goal with his chest off a cross from Ryan Lau, hit a low liner from distance and had a tap-in to complete the hat trick.
Playing their second game in as many days, Camden County mounted a late comeback and cut it to 3-1 on a penalty kick converted by Lautaro Berisso. The penalty was for a handball on the line that also reduced the Union U17s to 10 men. They were forced to do a lot of defending late but goalkeeper Ian Turnbull did well to turn away a number of chances for the visitors.

D.C. United announced their initial preseason roster for the 2021 season, with this morning marking the official start of training camp for most MLS teams.
United has 26 players under contract at the moment, 25 of whom are in camp (Paul Arriola remains on loan with Swansea City until sometime in May). The club has also invited ex-United players Andy Najar and Rodney Wallace to camp on trial, while 2021 second round pick Logan Panchot is with United as they weigh whether to offer him an MLS deal or start him out with Loudoun United at the USL Championship level. In an interview today with reporters, Loudoun head coach Ryan Martin added that D.C. may end up calling some Loudoun players into camp depending on team needs.
