(NPSL 2019) New York Athletic Club 0v2 New York Cosmos B





Sunday 2nd June 2019
Travers Island, New York   Attendance - 
A wonderstrike by Bardic in the 79th ended NYAC resistance as Cosmos went on to record a 2v0 win and a 17th straight regular season win in the NPSL. Having played just 24hrs earlier, manager Carlos Mendes was forced into splitting the squad over the 2 games and there were 9 changes to the side that beat Hartford 5v1 on Saturday.

With the score at 0v0 with just 11mins remaining Bardic recieved the ball from Bocanegra 28 yards out and unleashed a ferocious drive into the net to break the deadlock. Cosmos wrapped it up with 4mins remaining as Bocanegra, another substitute, drilled a second goal from an Aaron Dennis pass.

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.

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...
