"Off a short corner in the 53rd minute, Dos Santos sent in a cross from the right wing into the box, which was flicked on by the head of Mehmeti to the head of Hall, who generated enough power on his header to bounce the chance past the diving US international goalkeeper, Matt Turner."
"Hall remains the only source of New York's goals this season, as his brace fueled a 2-1 season-opening win last week down in Orlando. This had always been a highly-touted talent, but consider this the arrival."
"Matchday 1 saw Hall, Mehmeti, and Dos Santos become the first trio aged 17 or younger to start an MLS match. Saturday's second-half goal ensured that Hall became the youngest player in MLS history, and the only teenager, to score in each of his team's first two games to start a season."
Red Bull New York's young players delivered a decisive moment in their 1-0 home victory against New England Revolution. Seventeen-year-old Matthew Dos Santos crossed from the right wing, with 16-year-old Adri Mehmeti flicking the ball to 17-year-old Julian Hall, who headed past goalkeeper Matt Turner in the 53rd minute. Hall scored in both of New York's first two matches, becoming the youngest player and only teenager in MLS history to score in each of his team's opening two games. The trio made multiple historic records: first three players aged 17 or younger to start an MLS match, and first time three such young players contributed to a single goal. Head coach Michael Bradley praised their talent and potential.
