THE STAKES

The New York Cosmos (2W-3D-1L) return home to MCU Park to face Puerto Rico FC (0W-3D-3L). New York are coming off a 1-1 draw against Jacksonville Armada FC, in which Cosmos midfielder, Javi Márquez, scored his second goal so far this season. His performance earned him NASL Team of the Week honors for the third time in 2017.

Cosmos goalkeeper, Jimmy Maurer, is set to make his 100th club appearance in Saturday's game. Maurer has been a mainstay of the Cosmos defense, consistently racking up top stats in the NASL. He is second in the league with saves (25) and tied for the league lead for clean sheets with three. He was named to the NASL Team of the Month for April.

PRFC has yet to win a game this season and will be looking to get three points in Brooklyn. The team has formidable attacking power in forwards, Conor Doyle and Héctor “Pito” Ramos, who are third and fourth in the NASL in chances created with 13 and 12, respectively.
