Barcelona has had a good performance in preseason friendly matches and achieved a new victory on their tour of the United States, this time against New York Red Bulls. The match had emotions, but the second goal for 'Azulgranas' came only shortly before the end: Memphis Depay scored 2-0 at 87'.
The duel had decreased in intensity and the 'Azulgranas' had a ground-level exit, which they carried out with great patience. However, upon reaching three-quarters of the field, Bosnian Miralem Pjanic decided to change the rhythm: he looked up and executed a long pass to the opposite field.
The assist for Memphis Depay didn't seem to be the best, as Sean Nealis closed the zone and tried to cover the ball with his body while waiting for goalkeeper Ryan Meara to arrive. However, the communication between the two New York Red Bulls players was not the best, and that caused a blooper.
The goalkeeper hesitated for a fraction of a second and his teammate couldn't withstand the Dutchman's attack, who took the ball with a subtle touch. Due to the movement, the goalkeeper and defender were far from the action and left the door of the Red Bull Arena completely open.
Depay, without major difficulties, defined with his right foot low and scored a goal, to the delight of Barcelona fans. Thus, the tour of the 'Azulgranas' in the United States ends, and now they will return to Spain to play the Joan Gamper Trophy against Pumas from Mexico, at Camp Nou.
