Ten Best: Metro games (update)
November 2, 2006
Since we last looked at the ten best games in Metro history, an update has to be made. For descriptions of the initial top ten, see the original article, parts one and two.
10) September 26, 2001: MetroStars 4, Los Angeles 1
9) May 20, 2000: MetroStars 3, Tampa Bay 2 (OT)
8) October 14, 2006: New York 3, Kansas City 2
Needing a win and a win only to reach the playoffs, Metro goes down early, but an Amado Guevara penalty kick restores the tie in the first half and another one gives them the needed lead in the second. Guevara then adds a third on a long trickling shot, and a late Wizard reply is not enough as Metro book their fourth straight postseason trip.
7) October 1, 2003: MetroStars 3, DC United 2
6) July 5, 2003: DC United 2, MetroStars 3 (OT)
5) August 26, 2000: Dallas 4, MetroStars 6
4) September 17, 2005: MetroStars 5, New England 4
Needing a win for the playoff push, the MetroStars score early through Mike Magee, but New England equalizes. In the second half, Youri Djorkaeff and Amado Guevara tally to give Metro a two-goal lead only for the Revs to respond with three goals in 13 minutes. Just two minutes after the last Rev goal, Magee brings Metro level, and in the 86th minute, Djorkaeff also adds a second, scoring off an impossible acute angle.
3) September 24, 1996: MetroStars 2, DC United 2 (6:5 SO)
2) May 4, 1996: MetroStars 3, Tampa Bay 3 (2:1 SO)
1) May 5, 2001: MetroStars 3, DC United 2
