The New York Cosmos remain unbeaten at home this fall season, with a 3-0 win over Puerto Rico F.C.

Puerto Rico F.C. had a rough start to this match, as Crisitano Dias put the opening goal into the back of his own net. Lucky Mkosana sent a low cross into the box that was intended for Yasmani Duk, but instead it was redirected into the goal by Dias.

Both sides would exchange chances for the remainder of the match, until Juan Arango headed home the Cosmos second goal of the night. Mkosana provided the assist with a pinpoint ball into the box.

Mkosana would then get a much deserved goal in the second minute of added time to put the match away.

Jimmy Maurer recorded his second clean sheet of the fall season, as he only had to make two saves in the win. Most of Puerto Rico’s chances failed to hit the target.

The New York Cosmos improve to 4-1-2 on the season with the result tonight. Puerto Rico F.C. move to 1-2-3, as they continue their inaugural season in the NASL.

Up next the Cosmos will face Rayo OKC on Saturday. Puerto Rico F.C. will head to Minnesota on Wednesday night for their next match.
