(NPSL 2017) New York Cosmos B 1v2 Elm City Express








Saturday 13th May 2017
Rocco Commisso Stadium, New York,   Attendance - 
Cosmos B fell to defeat in their first home match of the new NPSL season as Elm City Express fought back from 1v0 down to take the spoils.

In rainy conditions Cosmos went close with a Radjen header from a corner after 15mins, but 9 minutes later Cortez found the net with a rocket effort from outside the area after being found by Dave Nigro. But the visitors threatened an equaliser on 35mins as an effort went off the bar.
Elm City levelled turned the tie around with 2 great strikes in a 5 minute spell in the 2nd half. In the 68th minute Saunchez
 rifled an effort past Zobeck from the right hand side of the area, but the winner was an even better strike.
From outside the area the Cosmos defence allowed the Elm City player to get a shot off and he made them pay as the effort flew into the top corner, again leaving Zobeck with no chance.
Cosmos applied late pressure but could not find an equaliser, leaving the side having to play catch up in this early part of the season.

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...
