Another huge milestone for Ibrahim Kasule at Red Bull
Following his extended impressive performance, where he scored five goals in as many matches, Ibrahim Baba Kasule claimed his second MLS NEXT Pro Player of the Month honour for August.
Having scooped it in July, the Ugandan youngster has now won the award for the second consecutive month, a feat no other player in the league has accomplished this season.
He kicked off the month in the middle of a statement 5-0 victory over Columbus Crew 2, where Kasule scored a goal to bring his season total up to eleven.

That wouldn’t be all for Kasule, who put his side up 5-3 with the eventual match-winning goal for his second of the night.

Ibrahim Kasule has proven how much his hard work is paying off this season, and he continues to receive the recognition he deserves.
The midfielder recently made his MLS Debut after being subbed on in the 64th minute in the New York Red Bulls match against the New England Revolution on August 30.
These awards, milestones, and club records seem to be just the beginning for the young Ugandan, who, along with teammate Frank Ssebufu, made the Cranes final squad for the AFCON qualifier against Niger.
