Another start, another early goal, another win.
For the second time in five days, Sebastian Guenzatti opened the scoring for his side in a 3-0 victory. Again it was Gastón Cellerino providing the setup and Guenzatti finishing low from the left side.

Raúl would tack on another before the half and the New York Cosmos would notch an impressive 3-0 result at Shuart Stadium over NASL postseason hopefuls FC Edmonton. Guenzatti was voted Emirates Cosmos Man of the Match for the first time this season.
