Justin Haak has been having a stellar Dallas Cup with New York City FC’s U-19 side. After scoring the game winner in a 1-0 victory against Liverpool only days ago, Haak scored once more on Friday against Villareal in a game that ended in a narrow 3-2 loss, eliminating NYCFC in the semi-finals.
Haak’s great performance in the Dallas Cup is extremely impressive, especially when you take into account that this is a 17-year-old kid who is playing two age groups above where he should be. At this rate, it’s only a matter of time before the young midfielder dubbed as “Cavani” is given minutes at an MLS level much like fan favorite James Sands has this season.
