The New York Red Bulls II provided friendly opposition for Tab Ramos' USA U-20 selection on August 7.
The game was played behind closed doors, though US Soccer provided a brief recap of the game. The US U-20s won, 4-3, thanks to a late winner from Jeremy Kelly. RBNY academy grad Marcello Borges played the full 90 minutes for the young Americans. Anatole Abang, Dan Metzger, and Stefano Bonomo scored for NYRB II.
Of perhaps greater interest to RBNY fans, however, is the appearance of "Trial Player" three times on the NYRB II team sheet.
