(NPSL 2016) New York Cosmos B 6v0 Kingston Stockade








Sunday 10th July 2016
Hofstra University, New York   Attendance -

Cosmos B ended the regular season with a resounding win over Kingston Stockade at Hofstra. Cosmos took less than 10mins to open the scoring when McTurk found Castellanos on the edge of the box and his effort found the net. It wasn't long before Cosmos doubled the lead with an unmarked Bedoya making it 2v0 and 2mins later Castellanos was put through by Bedoya and he scored his 2nd of the match after only 20mins.
The chances continued to come thick and fast and Bedoya also got his second after a run down the right wing following winning the ball in the midfield.
The visitors managed to halt the flood of goals for the rest of the half as they began to see more of the ball, but Castellanos had a chance to complete a hat-trick just before half time after linking up again with Bedoya, but this time Giddings in goal for Stockade prevented further damage.
There was a flurry of substitutions in the 2nd half which led to a more even start to the 2nd half, but Forgaard made it 5v0 after a nice pass from Stahler.
Stockade's sub keeper Stonieczny made a couple of stops from Mitrano and Forgaard, but Stahler found a way through in the 65th minute after an assist by Mitrano. As the game drew to a close Stockade created some pressure but couldn't muster a consolation goal as Cosmos entered the playoffs off the back of a convincing win.

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...

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...
