Boston City&#8217;s Paulo Henrique and Homero Morais both smacked the woodwork while New York&#8217;s Jesus Alvarez and Matias Ruiz both fired shots that prompted Scariot into action.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday&#8217;s clash was a rematch of last year&#8217;s season opener, a game which Cosmos B emerged as the victor with a 2-1 win. <\/p>\n<p>Boston City will return to action on Saturday, May 6 at New York Athletic Club in New Rochelle, N.Y.
