17-year-old Julian Hall scored twice in the first half to ensure Red Bull New York a 2-0 win over Orlando City in Saturday’s MLS opening game at Inter&Co Stadium. Hall opened the scoring in the eighth minute after a ball from Cade Cowell found Emil Forsberg, who cruised into the box and rounded goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau before finding the teenager to slot the ball into the net. Hall scored his second before halftime after a missed clearance off a corner kick from Orlando resulted in the forward striking from close. Orlando’s Wilder Cartagena left the game in the 13th minute for an apparent leg injury, forcing head coach Oscar Pareja to substitute Colin Guske into the game. The Lions were already missing midfielder Eduard Atuesta for a reported hamstring tightness. Up next, Orlando hosts the defending MLS Cup champions, Inter Miami, on Sunday, March 1 at Inter&Co Stadium.
