Barcelona closed his tour of the United States without knowing defeat: Xavi’s team beat New York Red Bulls 2-0 in New Jersey, in a match that went from major to minor but that did not have in doubt the culé victory.
Ousmane Dembelefigure of this preseason of the Catalans, scored the winning goal associating himself with Raphinha, the other footballer who stood out a lot these days in the United States.
To the 40 minutes the Frenchman overcame the fence then defended by the Brazilian Carlos Coronel, who like the other Red Bulls goalkeeper, Ryan Meara, prevented Barça from scoring more goals, although the latter had a fault shared with a defender in what was 2- 0 of Memphis Depay to the 86 minutesalready with one more man on the side of Barcelona for the expulsion of Daniel Edelman at 81 minutes due to a strong tackle on Pablo Torre.
Robert Lewandowski might not shout his first goal as a Barcelona footballer: a lot came into play in the 70 minutes he had on the pitch but he wasted several opportunities, as well as Ansu Fati in a second half in which the two teams changed their equipment completely: in fact they made more than eleven modifications each.
With this game the friendlies for the Catalan club did not end: on August 7 they will play the Joan Gamper Trophy at home vs. UNAM Cougars of Liga MX, the new team of Dani Alves. Newly on August 13 he will debut in La Liga once morest Rayo Vallecano.

Minute 75. An opportunity wasted by Ansu Fati, who failed to accommodate his shot once morest the far post of the goal defended by Meara.
Minute 71. Barcelona changes: Iñaki Peña and Memphis Depay replaced Marc André Ter-Stegen and Robert Lewandowski. In the NY Red Bulls, Zach Ryan entered for Curtis Ofori.
Minute 67. Ansu Fati was close to scoring a scissor goal, but his shot from the left went over the crossbar. He seems close to Barça 2-0 in a match that no longer has the intensity of the first half.

Minute 53. Lewandowski tries once more: he forced a shot from the left following a cut inside the area, but Meara deflected the shot and turned it into a corner kick.
Minute 50. It is still a matter of looking for Lewandowski’s goal in Barcelona’s game, which has the clear objective of its attack to try to assist the Pole. On the other hand, the defense has not looked solid today and the NY Red Bulls seem capable of surprising.
Minute 46. Five changes in Barcelona: Piqué, Sergi Roberto, Ansu Fati, Franck Kessie, Pedri and replaced Araujo, Christensen, Gavi, Dembélé and De Jong. The NY Red Bulls changed their entire team: they entered Meara, Edelman, Ofori, Nealis, Ndam, Mullings, Sserwadda, Amaya, Fernandez, Clark and Barlow.
End of the first half.
Minutes 45+2. Another attempt by Barça once morest an error by Coronel: Araujo almost took advantage of the rebound.
Dembélé’s goal for Barcelona’s 1-0 win over the New York Red Bulls
Minute 40. Barcelona goal! Dembélé started the attack and finished it, with a diagonal from the right and a cross shot to the far post by Coronel. 1-0 for Barça following the great play of the Frenchman, the figure of the preseason who was now assisted by Raphinha.

Then another unbeatable one following a good play by Dembélé, in which goalkeeper Carlos Coronel guessed the Pole’s intentions in 1 vs. 1 and foiled his attempt.
