Red Bull New York Homegrown Products Julian Hall and Adri Mehmeti Make USMNT Debuts in 4-1 Victory over Peru



HARRISON, N.J. (September 26, 2026) – Red Bull New York Homegrown products Julian Hall and Adri Mehmeti make United States Men’s National Team debut in 4-1 victory against Peru at Inter.Co Stadium on Saturday, September 26.


Hall subbed into the match in the 62nd minute and didn’t take long to make an impact. The Manhattan, N.Y. native made a far post run and volleyed a right footed shot into the bottom left corner off a cross from midfielder Sebastian Berhalter to give the USMNT a 3-1 lead in the 72nd minute and score his first career USMNT goal.


The forward’s impact didn’t stop there. In the 90th minute, Hall played a cross to the top of the box to Berhalter who struck a shot into the top right corner to seal a 4-1 victory.


Hall became the seventh youngest goal scorer in USMNT history at 18 years and 186 days old.


The Manhattan, N.Y. native became the third-youngest player to record an assist in USMNT history.


The forward is the first player to score and assist on their debut since January 18, 2025 when Matko Miljevic did so against Venezuela.


Hall joined Justin Ellis as the first players to score on their USMNT debut since Patrick Agyemang and Mato Miljevic did so on January 18, 2025.


In 2026, the forward has four goal contributions at Inter.Co Stadium. He notably started his 2026 MLS campaign with his first career brace in a 2-1 victory against Orlando City SC on February 21.


Mehmeti made his debut as well subbing into the match in the 88th minute for former RBNY homegrown product Tyler Adams.


The midfielder became the youngest player in RBNY history to make their debut for the USMNT at 17 years and 173 days old. The Staten Island, N.Y. native is also the fifth-youngest midfielder to make their debut in USMNT history.


Hall and Mehmeti will be back in action for the USMNT on Tuesday, September 29 as they take on Chile at Energizer Park in St Louis, M.O. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET with coverage available on TNT, truTV, HBO MAX, NBC UNIVERSO, and Peacock.
