US Open Cup: Cupset! Cosmos shocked by Reading United in Round 2
The New York Cosmos poor first half play was too much to overcome against PDL side Reading United AC, who held on to beat the professional side 3-2.
The Cosmos have always been a solid Open Cup team. Coming into their cup opener, everything was in place for them to make another decent run. The New York side even opted to play a starter heavy lineup.

However, just 25 minutes after the opening goal, everything collapsed.
