(NPSL 2016) New York Cosmos B 2v0 Seacoast United Phantoms








Sunday 22nd May 2016
Hofstra University, New York   Attendance - 
Cosmos B recoded a 4th victory in 5 games after a 2v0 victory over Seacoast Phantoms. It didn't take long for the Cosmos to create the first chance on goal as Mitrano saw an effort go off the crossbar after just 2mins. Just 3mins later and Mitrano again was denied by the crossbar as the Phantoms survived another early scare.
At the other end the Phantoms had a great chance to take the lead through Haji, but Palafox was on hand for the Cosmos to break up the chance.
The Phantoms defence was finally breached 7mins before half time when Trey Williams headed in a cross from Castellanos. The home side pushed on in search of a second goal before the interval, but it remained 1v0 at half time.
The Phantoms changed their keeper at half time and he was picking the ball out of the back of the net just 8mins into the half as Stahler converted from close range following a corner. Trey Williams tested the Phantoms keeper with further efforts on goal, but Phantoms prevented any further additions to the scoring as the Cosmos settled for a 2 goal victory.

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...
