Ledesma lights up the sky, rescues point for Cosmos on July 4th
It was America’s birthday, and the country’s most famous soccer team put on a show that rivaled the excitement levels of the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest and the Fourth of July fireworks show.
Hours after Joey Chestnut won his 10th Mustard Belt by eating an all-time record 72 hot dogs in 10 minutes, the New York Cosmos battled to a 1-1 tie against Indy Eleven.
Although the Cosmos could not secure three points on Independence Day, the night was still a success as fans were allowed to come on to the field after the game to enjoy a pyrotechnic display.
