New York Red Bulls II allowed a late game-winner to St. Louis FC in the 84th minute of a 3-2 affair.
NYRB II fell behind early as a failed clearance gave a goal to St. Louis in the third minute of the match. St. Louis held serve for the remainder of the first half taking that 1-0 lead into halftime.
The first 15 minutes of the second half saw Red Bulls II get out to a quick start, scoring two goals and hitting the post once, all before the 60th minute. Reigning USL Rookie of the Year Brandon Allen would open his account for NYRB II in the 52nd minute, getting a touch on the end of a Florian Valot cross to equalize.
Six minutes later, Allen would return the favor to Vincent Bezecourt finding him unmarked in the box for a glancing header to take the lead.
In the 61st minute, Bezecourt nearly scored a spectacular individual effort of a goal that nearly tucked inside the post, but it rattled out to Andrew Tinari whose effort sailed just above the crossbar.
St. Louis would respond in the 73rd minute earning a penalty kick in the box caused by a Tim Schmoll collision with the St. Louis attacker. Former New York Red Bull reserve Jose Angulo would catch Red Bulls II goalkeeper Evan Louro guessing the opposite direction to tie the game at two apiece.
St. Louis would score the game-winner in the 84th minute as a lofting ball would find the foot of Seth Rudolph, who one-touched his shot over Louro and into the back of the net.
Red Bulls II would apply pressure during the final eight minutes, but they could not find the equalizer.
