New York Cosmos News Release
The New York Cosmos fell 4-1 to Hartford Athletic in Prinx Tires USL Cup Matchday 3 at Hinchliffe Stadium. Hartford struck early in the 11th minute through Augustine Williams before Barry Coffey doubled the visitors' advantage in the 40th minute. The Cosmos were reduced to ten men in the 15th minute when Augustine Puentes was shown a red card, forcing New York to play the majority of the match shorthanded. Hartford added a third goal just before halftime through Emmanuel Samadia in the 45th minute to take a 3-0 lead into the break.
