Hall opened the scoring early, added a second before halftime, and completed his hat trick in the second half by reacting quickest to a loose ball in the box to secure the win.

The teenager now has nine goals and two assists this season, underlining his rapid rise and importance to a Red Bulls side revitalized under head coach Michael Bradley.

Before this campaign, Hall had managed just three goals in 38 appearances across previous seasons, making his current form a major leap forward and a key highlight for the club.
