The Red Bulls U-16 team kicked off a busy weekend of matches with a 2-0 victory against Seacoast United.
Most of the attacking play for the Red Bulls came in the second half. Jeanpaul Marin, who entered the game after half-time, almost opened up the scoring with an excellent individual effort. He dribbled past three defenders and the goalkeeper only to see his effort blocked on the line. Marin helped bring the game to life and was at the heart of most of the Red Bull attacks after break.
“I am glad I had the chance to come onto the field and have an impact on the game. It was a physical match against a team fighting for three points. We didn’t perform at our best level but we came out with the win which is important this late in the season,” Marin said. “Now we just have to focus on tomorrow’s game against an opponent who has always been a tough rival.”
The first goal came in the 56th minute when Brian Saramago ran onto a Jared Gilbey through ball to finish with the outside of his foot over the advancing Seacoast goalkeeper. The goal was Saramago’s 20th of the season. The second goal followed 20 minutes later when Omir Fernandez showed good improvisation on the edge of box to break past two defenders before finish one in the top of the net. That goal was Fernandez’s 15th of the season.
Wojciech Gajda, recorded his fourth shutout in five USDA games this season.

“'It took a great team effort to get the three points today against a strong opponent,” said man of the match Brian Saramago. “I’m just glad to help my team get the win. Now we have to focus on our next match and look to get three points vs a strong opponent.”
All the goals were scored in the second half. The first goal came from Saramago, who converted a Sean Teixeria cross from the right side to give the Red Bulls the lead in 48th Minute.
D.C. United was then denied an equalizer shortly after when Xavier Kennedy made an excellent save from a header that appeared goal bound after a D.C. United corner. The Red Bulls U-16s would then counter from the following D.C. United corner to extend their lead. The goal came in the 60th minute when Mason Deeds played the ball over the D.C. United backline for Saramago to run clear and beat the goalkeeper.
Just two minutes later Saramago would then turn to be the provider. A powerful run and cross from the right side found Zach Ryan unmarked at the back post who tapped the ball home from close range and extend the lead to three.
