PATERSON, N.J. \u2013 Brooklyn FC men recorded a 3-0 win over the New York Cosmos in the Prinx Tires USL Cup opener on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Brooklyn FC competes in the USL Championship, while the Cosmos play in USL League One.<\/p>\n
The breakthrough came in the 35th minute through a well-worked attacking sequence. Defender Callum Frogson whipped a cross into the six-yard box, where Juan Carlos \u201cJC\u201d Obregon Jr. headed the ball from point-blank range straight down the middle of the goal to give visitors the lead. It was Frogson\u2019s first assist for the club.<\/p>\n
Only four minutes later, Brooklyn doubled its advantage. Gabriel Alves picked up the ball outside the box and struck a powerful left-footed effort from distance, driving it past the goalkeeper for his first goal for the team.<\/p>\n
Brooklyn struck again to put the match out of reach in the 43rd minute. Abdoulaye Kante received a pass from Peter Mangione outside the area and fired a right-footed shot into the bottom right corner. The goal was Kant\u00e9\u2019s first for the club, while Mangione recorded his first assist.<\/p>\n
In goal, Lukas Burns impressed on his debut, making multiple saves, including key stops from close range and distance, to secure a clean sheet and anchor a strong defensive performance.<\/p>\n
The game also carried historic significance beyond the scoreline. JC scored the first-ever Prinx Tires USL Cup goal in club history, in addition to the first- USL Championship goal in club history earlier this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Overview: Brooklyn FC men recorded a 3-0 win over the New York Cosmos in the Prinx Tires USL…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":210032,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,9025,100,99,9,24,11992,63,83140,9029,11994],"class_list":["post-210031","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-fc","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-cosmos","tag-nyc","tag-prinx-tires-usl-cup","tag-usl-championship","tag-usl-league-one"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210031","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=210031"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210031\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/210032"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=210031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=210031"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=210031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
