New York Cosmos forward Lucky Mkosana made his second consecutive start in the club's Brooklyn debut on May 2 and made his presence on the pitch known early, taking a fantastic first touch on a ball played forward by winger Leo Fernandes and hammering home a goal in the 14th minute.

New York held on for the 1-0 win, remaining unbeaten on the season. Mkosana earned Emirates Cosmos Man of the Match for his performance.


Members of the media will cast their votes to determine the Emirates Cosmos Man of the Match at every Cosmos home game. At each home match, the winner will receive an Emirates Airbus A380 model airplane with an engraved plaque recognizing the player’s achievement.

The Emirates Cosmos Man of the Match award will culminate in a season-ending Emirates Cosmos Player of the Year award. The recipient of the Emirates Cosmos Player of the Year award will receive two round trip tickets on Emirates from New York (JFK) to Dubai (DXB) to celebrate a triumphant season.
