The back line in front of Otero in the goal was Tahir Reid-Brown, Platts, Thomas Williams and Zakaria Taifi. Riyon Tori and Guske were the defensive midfielder behind Caraballo, Solis and Shak Mohammed with Ellis above.

OCB did the first half to fail in this game. Red Bulls II dominated the first 45 minutes from the start and created chance after chance, while the Young Lions had to deal with the high press of the visitors. OCB came back into play with Ellis' goal and had several good chances to compensate for, but in the end it failed a third. In the meantime, the penalty of the dumplings in the second half brought the game away.

The first decent chance of the game came in the third minute when Caraballo took possession of it and quickly gave it up in his own third of the field. Red Bulls II worked out the ball to the left, where Matthew Dos Santos sent a low cross into the box. Several teammates did runs, but the young Lions were able to clarify it.

In the eighth minute, Steven Serwadda sent a low flank into the box from the right. Taifi and Williams were sucked into the ball and left Rafael Mosquera alone. Fortunately, Otero came from his line to grab the ball before reaching Mosquera.

In the 12th minute, a Mohammed pass was intercepted by Red Bulls II. Mosquera hit Platts to the final line and sent a dangerous low cross into the six-yard box. He had a few teammates that did Runs, but it was cleared away and the young lions almost avoided the first goal of the game.

OCB finally got his first chance in the 13th minute when Mohammed made a long term before shooting inside and from outside the box. However, he was unable to overcome the ball and sent it well over the goal.

Unfortunately, the ball returned directly to Benedetti, who drove past Platts and sent a low, hard shot past Otero to give his team a 3-1 lead.

When he entered the box, Mosquera dribbled the ball off the heel. However, he created enough space for a shot and sent an attempt to the outside of the network.

The young Lions reacted quickly at the other end and made their first chance of the second half. Ellis made a good run into the box on the left and found Taifi on the other side. The first touch of the right back was a shot that went far.

Somehow OCB could escape without giving up a goal.

In the 65th minute, Juan Gutierrez and Taifi collided on a 50-50 headball. The referee showed Gutierrez a yellow for the foul near the top of the New York box when both players stayed below. When they got up, OCB had a great chance from a similar distance in which Solis earned in the game earlier.

A minute later, Ellis found that Platts ran a race into the box and behind the Bulls II behind. The center of the middle was given a shot, but Stokes made it good to get out and to block the attempt out of the game.

The following set of Caraballo was observed by Platts to the post, where Williams was all alone. Everything in the middle had to do it to type the equalizer, but somehow he managed not to get enough contact with the ball, and the young Lions remained a goal.

OCB had an almost catastrophic misunderstandings in the 72nd minute when Mohammed took possession of the ball near the top of the OCB box.

Red Bulls II put the game in added time when Platts committed a foul in the box. Williams had the chance to clear the ball, but Kasule typed him back around the middle before playing Rojas on the other side. Platts was beaten and stumbled Rojas when he got into the goal. Referee Alexandra Biller immediately pointed out the spot and gave visitors a punishment.

Kasule appeared to take the spot kick and sent Otero the wrong way to expand the lead and put the game away.

When the game entered the eight minutes of stoppage time, Williams sent a long ball into the box for Clapier. The ball was behind the replacement that tried to turn and try a bicycle kick. He got in touch with the ball, but sent him wide. That was the last chance for every team because the young Lions fell 4: 2.

Full-time, Red Bulls II had more shots (21-13), shots on the destination (8-4) and crosses (4-3). The OCB had better accuracy (85.8%-82.8%) and both teams ended the game with four corner.

“I think it was clear,” said Goldberg about the game. “We speculated the first half and then had to push the second half with a negative result and all the stuff.”

The team was on the hind foot most of the first half, but was much better in the second. After the Young Lions had crossed 10: 2 in the first 45 minutes, they agreed with 11 shots in the second game period.

“We expected that,” said Goldberg about the attack of the second half of his team. “But since the beginning. Not in the second half.”

The loss is the first OCB in Oscola County Stadium this season after giving it 2-0: 1 in the first three home games. Since the young Lions had won the penalty shot against Atlanta on March 16, they had won eight possible nine points at home before today's game.

The loss drops the young lions in fifth place in the Eastern Conference. They are just two points behind Red Bulls II, Huntsville City FC and New England Revolution II for second place, but played another game.


It will be a short week for the young lions when they take to the streets next weekend with the first team. You will compete against Chicago Fire FC II on Friday evening at the Seatgeek Stadium in Bridgeview, IL, against Chicago Fire FC II.
