(NPSL 2015) New York Cosmos B 7v0 Seacoast United Phantoms









Saturday 11th July 2015
Mitchel Field, New York   Attendance -
Cosmos B dished out another hammering in their NPSL match, putting 7 past Seacoast United Phantoms, no mean feat considering they are still in contention for the playoffs. Herlein put Cosmos ahead halfway into the first half after a pass from Bover, who was returning to the B side after an appearance for the first team.
Cosmos continued to create chances, Pittman beat 3 players before sending a shot off target and a minute later Brito attempted to dribble round the Seacoast keeper, but could not get a shot off.
Cosmos continued to get efforts on goal, but Seacoast held out until 5mins before half time when the same combination linked up again, Herlein scored after another assist from Bover.
Stahler had a great chance to make it 3v0 in first half stoppage time, but failed to convert as Cosmos settled for a 2v0 lead at half time.
Seacoast replaced their keeper at half time, but he was soon picking the ball out of the net as Cosmos scored another just 4mins into the 2nd half. Again, it was Bover setting up Herlein, who completed his hat-trick. Brito made it 4v0 on 54mins as he latched onto a rebound from another effort from Herlein.
The goals were coming thick and fast now with a 3rd goal in 7mins with Herlein netting his 4th of the game.
A save from the Seacoast keeper prevented Bover from getting his name on the scoresheet after his rocket shot was saved on the hour mark.
 As the game entered the final few minutes Cosmos did not let up and managed 2 more goals. Pittman was denied by the Seacoast Keeper on 93mins, but was beaten soon after by Diaby, after he had beaten 2 opposition players.
Rodriguez completed the scoring with 2mins left with an effort that went in off the crossbar. The spectacular scoreline was capped off by being awarded the North Atlantic Conference trophy after the match.

(NPSL 2019) Boston City 1v3 New York Cosmos B

Saturday 15th June 2019 Hormel Stadium, Boston   Attendance -  A brace from Bocanegra helped Cosmos to extend their 100% record in the NPSL with a 3v1 win in Boston against the Lions of Boston City. Boston had only recorded 1 win in 10 games so far, but had made some new additions to the squad, 3 of which made the starting line up. Added to the fact that Cosmos faced another match 24hrs later forcing Cosmos into making several changes to the line up meant that the match was closer than may have been expected. Cosmos lost Al Hassan early on to injury, but with Cosmos still temporarily down to 10 men they took the lead with less than 15mins on the clock when a Bocanegra effort deflected off Boston's Tomasso D'Agostino and into the net. The goal came from a long throw-in into the Boston area which the Lions failed to deal with. The lead did not last long however as Boston equalised with their first dangerous attack when a long ball caught the Cosmos defence flat-fo...

(NPSL 2016) Kingston Stockade 2v4 New York Cosmos B

Saturday 18th June 2016 Amesbury Sports Park, Massachusetts   Attendance - Cosmos B consolidated their lead in the Atlantic Conference following a 4v2 victory over Kingston Stockade. It looked like plain sailing for Cosmos after they dominated their opponents in the first 45mins, going in 2v0 at half time. But a crazy start to the second half which saw 3 goals in 4mins, 2 for the home side, made the game more difficult than it should have been, before a late goal sealed the win. Cosmos had to make a substitutions seconds into the game after Trey Williams left the pitch due to illness, with Frankie Castellanos replacing the player. But despite the early change Cosmos had the first chance when a dangerous Castellanos free kick was whipped into the area, but the header from close range was well off target. The home side were struggling to cope with the superior technique and quick passing from the Cosmos and there were a few efforts on the Stockade goal in the ea...
