New York Red Bulls midfielder Alejandro "Kaku" Romero Gamarra picked up his second cap with the Paraguay National Team, and played the entire second half, in the 1-1 draw to South Africa on Tuesday.


Kaku came on as a sub right after halftime for defender Derlis González.

Paraguay got on the board first, via a goal by Federico Santander in the 32nd minute, off a rebound inside the box. La Albirroja held on to the lead up until stoppage time, when South Africas' Percy Tau scored in the 93rd minute to level the score.


With his international duty complete, Kaku will return to the Red Bulls as the club takes on Atlanta United, on Sunday, November 25, in the first leg of the Eastern Conference Championship, which will be televised on ESPN and ESPN Deportes at 5 PM.
