The first day of Cosmos Copa 2014 is in the books. After one day, the field has begun to look a little clearer. A handful of teams asserted themselves as title favorites, while a few teams misfired will be ruing their luck. Given today's results, there will be plenty of highly anticipated fixtures for Day 2 of Cosmos Copa at Randall's Island. 

Here's what went down today:

Group A
Gambia 3 Bolivia 0: Gambia really put Bolivia to the sword in the tournament's opening match.

Ireland 2 Ecuador 0: This hotly contested fixture had six yellow cards. Despite the active discipline record the overall edginess of play, Ireland thoroughly controlled the flow tempo. A little chippiness couldn't deter the Irish.

Group B
Senegal 0 El Salvador 0: El Salvador created a handful of proper chances, but failed to capitalize against a resolute Senegalese side. Neither team asserted its quality.

Ivory Coast 0 Mexico 0: Another snooze-fest in Group B. There were only two yellow cards in this match. Once again, neither team separated itself the pack. Group B is anyone's for the taking after a poor Day 1 performance its squads.

Group C
USA 3 Poland 1: The Poles took an early 1-0 lead, but Team USA kept their composure settled into a nice attacking groove. Poland will feel cheated that they didn't go 2-0 up in the first half—a clear handball near Team USA's goal wasn't called, a ghost corner kick was given to Team USA, an offside wasn't given against Team USA. Seconds after that sequence of unfortunate events for the Poles, Team USA equalized, seized control thereafter. Michael Konicoff's pace ingenuity on the left wing was key for the USA. More fight is needed Poland.

Haiti 5 Serbia 0: Haiti benefited a loud supporter's group to breeze past Serbia. Haiti is a clear tournament favorite going forward.

Group D
France 0 Italy 0: Italy had a few wasted counter attacks, the French should've done better in the Italy's final third.

Afghanistan 4 Albania 1: Mohammad Mashriqi answered Albania's equalizer Bljerdi Bardic by scoring twice. Afghanistan's enthusiasm drive didn't go unnoticed.
