New York Cosmos earned a 2-0 win at Corpus Christi FC in USL League One, with Lamin Jawneh and Ajmeer Spengler scoring the goals. The result came despite Corpus Christi having far more of the play, as the visitors stayed patient and took their chances.
Jawneh put the Cosmos ahead in the 25th minute, finishing after Frankie Ljucovic's assist. Corpus pushed forward in search of an equaliser, but Spengler settled the contest in the 76th minute from Ozzie Ramos' pass. That second goal deflated the home side, and New York saw the game out.
The stats tell a tale of two finishes: Corpus Christi had 17 total shots and six on target, while New York had five shots and three on target. Possession was level at 50% each, but the Cosmos were clinical, and their goalkeeper made six saves to keep a clean sheet. Corpus dominated the shot count, yet it was New York who left with the points.
