Though he was far from the bright lights of the UEFA Champions League, Raul was pleased to close out his career with another trophy, writes Franco Panizo.
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. – A legendary career littered with milestones, records and trophies finished with another piece of hardware.
Spanish legend Raul helped the New York Cosmos win the 2015 NASL Championship on Sunday night, as they defeated a 10-man Ottawa Fury FC, 3-2, at James M. Shuart Stadium.
Raul did not get himself on the scoresheet in the final game of his storied career, but set up the game-winner with the type of magic that has made him so successful everywhere he has played during his 21 years as a professional.
