Islanders Close in on Commissioners Cup

The last few weeks have forced Amer­i­can soc­cer fans to take note of the Puerto Rico Islanders. The USL-1 side accom­plished a feat no MLS side has in eight tries: get a result on Costa Rican soil and defeat a Costa Rican team to advance in a CONCACAF competition.

Kendall Jagdeosingh and Cris­t­ian Arri­eta scored goals as the Islanders moved to within one point of the Com­mis­sion­ers Cup denot­ing the the top team in table for the reg­u­lar sea­son with a 2–0 vic­tory over Rochester. Now Colin Clarke’s men must focus on the CONCACAF Cham­pi­ons League where the Islanders hosty Tauro FC of Panama on Tues­day night. A full pre­view of the CONCACAF Cham­pi­ons League is com­ing mon­day on the site.
