HANOVER, N.J. (May 21, 2016) – The New York Red Bulls U-23 opened up their Premier Development League season Saturday with a 2-1 win over Jersey Express.
On a rainy night, Arun Basuljevic opened the scoring in the 22nd minute after receiving a pass from the Oakland, N.J. native, Zach Knudson. The Red Bulls back line intercepted a pass as it sparked a counter attack. Knudson slipped a ball to Basuljevic, where the midfielder calmly netted the ball into the corner.
A strong Red Bulls performance protecting a 1-0 lead came to a halt when a handball inside their own box resulted in a penalty kick.
