Cosmos salvage point in 4-goal thriller
New York drops to 4th place
New York Cosmos side missing several key players due to suspension, injury and international duty grinded out a gripping 2-2 tie against North Carolina FC (NCFC) on Saturday afternoon in Coney Island.
It took a moment of individual brilliance from Kalif Alhassan in the 84th minute for the “Cardiac Cosmos” to escape with a draw, extending the team’s unbeaten run to eight games against NCFC.
After Cosmos midfielder Andres Flores drew a cluster of defenders at the top of the box with several short touches, he found Alhassan, who curled a right-footed shot to the far post under the crossbar for a late equalizer.
