Cosmos advance to 3rd consecutive NASL championship game
Cardiac Cosmos beat Miami FC on penalties, face San Francisco Sunday in Soccer Bowl
It took more than 120 minutes and a tense penalty-kick shootout, but New York, in true Cardiac Cosmos fashion, defeated Miami FC 6-5 on penalties in the North American Soccer League (NASL) semifinal.
With the victory, the Cosmos advanced to their third consecutive championship game. The team will take on the San Francisco Deltas, who defeated North Carolina FC 1-0 in the other semifinal matchup.
“I’m very proud of our players in the way they conducted themselves today,” Cosmos head coach and Sporting Director Giovanni Savarese said after his team’s historic win on Sunday in front of 7,115 fans at Riccardo Silva Stadium in Miami.
