Though he didn't score, or even deliver an assist, Spanish legend Raul still showed his class in helping lead the Cosmos to a home-opening win against the Tampa Bay Rowdies.
UNIONDALE, NY— As the 90-minute mark showed on the scoreboard at Shuart Stadium in the New York Cosmos home debut of Spanish star Raul Gonzalez, you could see the 37-year-old mustering the energy to run off the field as a substitute prepared to end what had been a satisfying and tiring evening for the former Real Madrid legend.
Raul didn’t score or assist on either of the goals in the Cosmos’ 2-0 victory against the previously undefeated Tampa Bay Rowdies, but he still showed his class.
