First Major League Soccer start, first Major League Soccer assist for Alejandro “Kaku” Romero Gamarra.
Kaku assisted 17-year-old Ben Mines to open scoring for the Red Bulls as they felled the Portland Timbers 4-0 at Red Bull Arena on Saturday night.
“I’m very happy and the team had a great game,” Kaku said through a translator following the game.
Kaku continues to mix in with the team and his teammates, which has helped him on the pitch and off, according to Head Coach Jesse Marsch.
“Everyone here knows that Kaku is a great player,” Marsch said.
