Day Two of game action got underway on Tuesday afternoon from the StubHub Center in Carson, California, as MLS technical staffs got another look at draft prospects before Friday's SuperDraft.
Nazeem Bartman scored the only goal of the game for Team Copa, getting on the end of a cross from his college teammate Marcus Epps of USF. Pundits were pleased with the performance of center back Brandon Aubrey of Team Chaos after a shaky first day on Sunday; Aubrey figures to be a top-10 pick on Friday.
In the second match of the day, Team Control and Team Tango battled to a 2-2 draw. Zeiko Lewis of Control drew and converted a penalty (his second of the Combine) for the opening goal, then took a pass from Brian Johnson and looped a left-footed shot over the goalkeeper for second of the day and third overall goal. For Tango, Niko Hansen shook a defender and the goalkeeper on a counter attack for their first goal, then Jonathan Lewis scored his third goal of the combine, linking up with Abu Danladi.
Teams will play one final doubleheader on Thursday at 12 p.m. (Team Copa vs. Team Control) and 1:30 p.m. (Team Chaos vs. Team Tango) before learning their fates on Friday at the 2017 MLS SuperDraft (2 p.m. CT). Both games and the SuperDraft will be available to watch live at HoustonDynamo.com/live.
