Young Magpies knocked out of Dallas Cup | OneFootball

The Toon teenagers headed into their final Group B fixture following a 3-1 comeback win against Lonestar SC, courtesy of goals from Matthew Taylor, Matheos Ferreira and Jude Cogdon, and required a victory against the Mexican outfit in order to secure their place in the semi-final stages.

However, the young Magpies fell behind shortly after the half-hour mark at the Toyota Soccer Center before conceding four times in the final 26 minutes of the contest in Texas, resulting in a third placed finish in their respective group which contained defending champions São Paulo.
