The 19-year-old grabbed a brace earlier on Monday as New York Red Bulls II edged Chicago Fire II 5-4 in a thriller, where compatriot Frank Ssebufu scored once.
On 15 goals, Kasule is the second top scorer in the reserve league (MLS Next Pro) behind New York City II player Mathew Meyrs, who is on 16 strikes.
Also, on 15, Kasule ties with Brandon Allen and Jared Stroud for the most goals in a single season for New York Red Bulls II in history.
Meanwhile, on the same night, Messi's Inter Miami was held to a 1-1 draw by Nashville SC, with the latter featuring. Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets were all in the team.
