(NPSL 2018) New York Cosmos B 4v0 Kingston Stockade








Saturday 7th July 2018
Colombia University, New York    Attendance - 

Cosmos completed a perfect 10-0 season with a routine win over Kingston Stockade. From the outset the game was played almost exclusively in the Stockade half with the away team relying on the lone figure of Creswick up front to try and fashion something.
Stockade held out for just over 20mins before they were undone by a fine header by Wojcik from a Barrajo cross.
The goal did little to change the pattern of the game with Cosmos still dominating and they doubled their lead soon after with Barrajo again the supplier as his low cross found Bardic who made it 2v0. Bardic almost made it 3v0 after a low cross from Wojcik found the Cosmos striker, only for Bardic to somehow miss from close range, with the offside flag saving some of his embarrassment. Undeterred Bardic continued to threaten and fired into the side netting before finding the net again just before half time after a lay off by Brown.
With the game all but wrapped up the second half was a procession with Cosmos continuing to dominate and testing the Kingston keeper with some efforts on goal. A series of substitutions on both sides from both sides interrupted the flow of the game, but Cosmos did manage to add another goal from Bardic to complete his hat-trick.
Garcia played a clever ball through to Bartley whose mis-hit shot was dragged across goal, but Bardic was following in to tap in.
New York now will look forward to a much tougher test in the playoffs in their quest for a NPSL Championship.

(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...
