Despite the side receiving a first half red card to Jayden Reid, they rightly counted on the Ugandans, who steered them to their first victory in three matches.

Former Wakiso Giants FC duo of Ibrahim Kasule and Frank Ssebufu continued their excellence at New York Red Bulls II.

The pair was on the score-sheet as their side beat Cincinnati II 2-0 in the MLS Next Pro League in the wee hours of Sunday.

Despite the side receiving a first half red card to Jayden Reid, they rightly counted on the Ugandans, who steered them to their first victory in three matches.

Kasule netted in the sixth minute to take his overall tally since making the move in March, to nine goals in 16 matches.

Stunningly though, all the goals have come in the past ten games. He has added four assists in the process during that time.

Last week, as he scored in their 2-1 defeat to Philadelphia Union II, Kasule became the first ever player to score in five successive games for New York Red Bulls II.

Over a fortnight ago, he was promoted to the senior team, the New York Red Bulls, and despite not playing a game, he has made the bench twice already.

Meanwhile, Ssebufu's 64th minute goal made it five strikes in 18 games since making the move. He has added one assist to the tally.

Despite the win, New York Red Bulls II stayed put in third with 33 points in 19 games in the Northeast Division of the MLS Next Pro.
