Bethlehem Steel FC turned in a complete performance as the club picked up its first shutout of the year with a 3-0 win over rivals New York Red Bulls II in a midweek tilt at Goodman Stadium.

18-year-old winger Michee Ngalina struck for his first professional goal in the first half, collecting a pass from Philadelphia Union midfielder Adam Najem. With the goal, Ngalina became the youngest scorer in Steel FC’s history. The second half saw former Steel FC forward Cory Burke collected two assists, finding Fabian Herbers and Adam Najem for insurance goals in the second half. Union goalkeeper John McCarthy made two saves while the defense added three blocks to pick up the clean sheet and snap New York’s seven-game unbeaten streak.
