JOZY, HUNTER COME AWAY WITH DRAW VS CUBA IN QUALIFYING OPENER

Both Jozy and Hunter featured in the US U23s Olympic Qualifying opener last night against Cuba in Tampa, FL. Hunter played all 90 minutes, while Jozy worked hard during his 45 minutes of action. With two more matches left in the group stage, the US still has time to secure a spot in the semifinals, but the team didn't do itself any favors by earning just the single point. (SIDE BAR: 5 players on the Cuban team are missing and are assumed to be defecting.)

Here is a recap from MLSNET.COM.

Red Bulls Reader caught up with assistant coach Richie Williams at today's training session to get his impressions on the match.
