Details are scarce at the moment, but what we do know is that the match will take place at May 6th at 8pm at Long Island University’s Athletic Complex in Brooklyn.
This draw and location has to be exciting for Cosmos fans, as they are playing a local rival in Brooklyn, the borough where the club has it’s strongest fan roots. Maybe they could get the game moved to MCU? Either way, expect the Cosmos faithful to come out in full force
