Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Roman Torres scored one and assisted another as Forward Madison FC beat New York Cosmos 3-1 in USL League One, setting up a meeting with Spokane Velocity FC next week. The home side were ruthless in front of goal, turning a tight contest into a commanding lead by half-time.

The breakthrough came in the 25th minute when Roman Torres laid on a cross for Ryan Carmichael to head home from close range. Torres then doubled the lead himself three minutes later, finishing emphatically after a corner was only half-cleared, and Jackson Castro added a third early in the second half with a fine solo run. Sebastian Guenzatti pulled one back for the visitors in the 76th minute from Nick Zielonka's pass, but it was too little, too late.

Forward Madison were the better side throughout, controlling both halves and punishing defensive lapses with clinical finishing. CheckLive's model rated the Cosmos marginally ahead beforehand, but the result did not confirm that, though the live signals correctly backed the home side at short odds. Next up for Forward Madison is a trip to Spokane Velocity FC on 2 July.
