(NPSL 2016) Seacoast United Phantoms 0v6 New York Cosmos B










Sunday 8th May 2016
Amesbury Sports Park, Massachusetts   Attendance - 
A flurry of 2nd half goals ensured that Cosmos B eased to victory against Seacoast Phantoms. Cosmos dominated possession in the early stages and Michael Holzer had 2 efforts on goal in the space of a few minutes. His first effort went wide and his second was tipped over the bar, after being found on the edge of the box from a corner.

Seacoast almost kept it scoreless in the first half, but were undone by a penalty in the 41st minute, awarded for a handball. Frankie Castellanos stepped up to score to send Cosmos 1v0 up at the half.

Cosmos doubled the lead just before the hour mark as Trey Williams found Ivan Berterame with a cross. That goal opened the floodgates and Williams in particular as he went on to score a hat-trick.
He drove up the middle and produced a shot from outside the area that the keeper could not hold to put Cosmos 3v0 up.
6 minutes later and Williams got his second, picking up a rebound after a Castellanos shot came off the bar.
Williams completed his hat-trick on 81mins . Phantoms could not even manage a consolation from the penalty spot as Hector Guerrero ensured a clean sheet.
Castellanos wrapped up the scoring with a 6th near the end after the keeper could not hold onto his second of the day.

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...
