The goal made Tyrkus the youngest player to score in USL Championship this season. He is also the third youngest goal scorer in club history and the 23rd youngest in league history (16 years, 287 days). He is one of two Red Bulls Academy players to score this season and the sixth since the beginning of the 2021 season.
