Ten Best: Individual performances (update)
November 1, 2006
Since we last looked at the ten best individual performances in Metro history, an update has to be made. For descriptions of the initial top ten, see the original article.
10) April 30, 2005: Amado Guevara; Colorado 1, MetroStars 3

8) September 30, 2000: Mike Ammann; MetroStars 2, Chicago 0
7) October 14, 2006: Amado Guevara; New York 3, Kansas City 2
With a win and a win only required to reach the playoffs, Guevara scores two penalty kicks to bring the team back from an early deficit. He then completes the hat-trick on a long shot that trickles in and seals another postseason trip.

2) October 16, 2005: Tony Meola; Chivas USA 0, MetroStars 2
Needing a win in the last regular season game to get into the playoffs, the MetroStars get it as Meola rises to the occasion and plays an amazing game, stopping 12 shots, many of them difficult. Michael Bradley scores the winner as Metro advances.
