What happened: Ramos started in the No. 10 role for his second start of the 2026 campaign. His finish came three minutes after the opening goal and drew the match level.

Why it matters: The breakthrough follows his run to the Concacaf U-20 final earlier this month. He produced four goals and an assist during that tournament.

By the numbers: Entering Saturday, Ramos had made 11 first-team appearances across all competitions, including two starts.

What to watch: His minutes in the next league match will indicate whether the No. 10 assignment becomes a regular role.
