New Haven United FC cruised to a dominant 4–0 victory over OSNER'S FC in NPSL action on Saturday, with four different players finding the net. A. Taleb opened the scoring in the 20th minute, J. Loura added a second in the 34th, P. Alessio struck just before halftime in the 44th, and S. Halloran completed the rout with a goal in the 90th.
The match got chippy early. S. Pierre picked up a yellow card for New Haven in the 13th minute, but the booking did nothing to slow the hosts' momentum. Taleb broke the deadlock seven minutes later, giving New Haven a lead they would never relinquish. OSNER'S FC picked up a caution of their own shortly after, U. Hendriks going into the book in the 22nd minute as frustrations crept in.
Loura doubled the advantage midway through the first half, and Alessio made it three before the interval. New Haven went into the break with a commanding lead and the game effectively settled. The second half was a quieter affair, with Y. Suzaki collecting a yellow card for New Haven in the 74th minute the only notable incident before Halloran put the finishing touch on the scoreline deep in stoppage time.
OSNER'S FC rarely threatened and managed little in the way of a response across 90 minutes. The shutout underlined a complete performance from New Haven on both sides of the ball.
The emphatic win gives New Haven United FC valuable momentum as they push for a stronger position in the NPSL standings heading into the heart of the summer schedule.
