HARRISON, N.J. (April 5, 2016) - New York Red Bulls II forward Junior Flemmings has been named to the USL Team of the Week for his one goal and assist performance against Louisville City FC.
The 20-year-old Jamaican youth international was making his debut for Red Bulls II.
The forward netted his only shot of the game in the 29th minute. Vincent Bezecourt started the play with a shot from distance, which was parried by Louisville goalkeeper Scott Goodwin. Flemmings followed the shot, beat his defender and buried the rebound at the near post from a tight angle to put New York ahead.
The 79th minutes, Flemmings made a run down the right flank and spotted Brandon Allen open at the top of the penalty box. He assisted the Homegrown Player with a perfect pass, which Allen slotted into the lower-right hand corner of the goal.
Red Bulls II returns to action this weekend on Sunday, April 10, at Red Bull Arena against Bethlehem Steel FC at 7:30 p.m. ET (TICKETS:NewYorkRedBulls.com/2/Tickets; WATCH: NewYorkRedBulls.com/Live).
