Reading FC Young Teenager Star Makes 1st New Zealand International Debut In DR Congo Draw
Reading defender Tyler Bindon made his New Zealand debut in a 1-1 draw with DR Congo.
Cedric Bakambu gave DR Congo the lead in Murcia, but former Leeds United and Burnley forward Chris Wood equalised from the penalty spot in stoppage time.
Bindon appeared off the bench in the closing stages to earn his first cap for his country at the age of just 18.
Making his Reading debut in August, the former LAFC youngster has become a mainstay under Ruben Selles.
Forming a youthful partnership with 20-year-old Nelson Abbey, Bindon has made eight appearances to date and scored his first professional goal at Leyton Orient immediately before the international break.
He could feature for Darren Bazeley’s side tomorrow as New Zealand and Australia compete in a friendly at Brentford’s Community Stadium on Tuesday, October 17.
