Long Island Rough Riders dismantled Manhattan SC 6–1 in a dominant USL W League away performance on Tuesday evening. Individual goal scorers and times were not immediately available from the match sheet.
What the scoreline made clear, however, was the sheer scale of the result. Long Island were ruthless in front of goal, finding the net six times to hand Manhattan one of their heaviest defeats of the campaign. The hosts managed a consolation strike but were otherwise outclassed across the 90 minutes.
The lopsided nature of the contest was evident throughout. Manhattan SC had no answer for a Rough Riders side that converted their chances with clinical efficiency. A one-goal response was all the home team could muster against a relentless attacking display.
No cards were issued to either side, suggesting Long Island controlled proceedings comfortably enough to avoid the kind of desperate fouling that often accompanies blowout scorelines. Manhattan, for their part, never resorted to cynical measures despite the mounting deficit.
The result underlines a significant gap between the two sides and gives Long Island Rough Riders a major boost to their goal difference as the USL W League season continues to take shape.
