Still standing at the top of the standings with a 5-0-0 start to this season, NY swept a pair of league games in New England while dropping one in Lamar Hunt US Open Cup play. Ledula came in for the prodigal Cosmo, David Diosa at the half and the former Pioneer got the goal just just 4 minutes in. Junior Burgos woke everyone up as he rocked the frame of the goal with his go and won the crossbar challange.

June 6 will be the first night of the soccer film festival Kicking & Screening, it will be the night of women's soccer, themed "Against All Odds" supported by local NWSL team, Sky Blue. The subject of the short, Tracy Hamm and her battle to get coaching certifications and then the pitfalls while getting them is very well depicted in "Coach" which I have now seen multiple times.

In both good and bad ways, although the bad was not so bad and might have been better than if it had not occurred, Long Island players played a pivotal role in the win for the Red Bulls. I just confused myself. First, the good which came last. The second assist to Tom Barlow, an early 2nd half sub was suppllied by a late first half sub due to injury to Ivan, replaced by Massapequa's Sean Nealis. This was for an already depleted defense, minus USL Defender of the Year, Aaron Long all game and TIm Parker for the last 59' of the game due to a red card.

What was the story of the game, the 35' Red Card to Long Islander, Parker, the shutout streak by the visiting Atlanta United, NY seeking revenge of their season ending loss to the visitors, no I say. Their preserverence to stay strong all game not taking chances, keeping a stout defense even after Ivan left injured for yet another Long Islander, Sean Nealis. NY held the ball well throughout the 2nd half to kill time, laid back a bit but not too much, team defense swarming every time, waiting for that one chance to strike.

Is it too early in the season yet to call a game a big game, if not then this one is. NY leads the short series 3-0-1 but that 1 is far more imprtant than were the 3 as it transpired in the 2018 Eastern Conference Final, the result of which will be felt this season, possibly many more into the future as the playoff system was then revamped. Follow the game on FS1, FOX Sports Go & NYRB Radio on TuneIn, yes it is nationally televised.
