Brenden Aaronson delivered his first goal for Red Bull Salzburg on Wednesday and it was one that won’t soon be forgotten.
The 20-year-old Medford, N.J. native and former Philadelphia Union homegrown curled a shot in with two defenders on him in the 72nd minute to make it 2-1 to Salzburg. The goal held up as the game winner in a 3-1 final score over Austria Wien, which featured former Sporting Kansas City defender Erik Palmer-Brown in the starting lineup.
It was Aaronson’s fourth league appearance for the first place side in the Austrian Bundesliga.
