TUCSON, Ariz. (February 24, 2018) – The New York Red Bulls dropped their final contest of the Mobile Mini Sun Cup to host side Phoenix Rising FC, 2-1.
Despite the defeat, New York saw for the first time their newest Designated Player Alejandro “Kaku” Romero Gamarra, since announcing the completion of his transfer last week.
Kaku saw 57 minutes, starting at the traditional number 10 position in the middle of the pitch as the Red Bulls began in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Facing Phoenix for the second time in two weeks, New York came out with energy and familiarity against the USL side’s style of play.
