Ten Best: Individual performances (update)
November 15, 2012
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, as well as two updates.
10) October 14, 2006: Amado Guevara; New York 3, Kansas City 2
9) September 17, 2005: Youri Djorkaeff; MetroStars 5, New England 4
8) May 4, 1996: Giovanni Savarese; MetroStars 3, Tampa Bay 3 (2:1 SO)
7) September 29, 2012: Thierry Henry; New York 4, Montreal 1
One goal, three spectacular assists. The first off a corner to Markus Holgersson, the other two both sublime, no-look passes to set up Kenny Cooper.
6) May 2, 2001: Clint Mathis; MetroStars 4, Kansas City 1
5) July 8, 2000: Tim Howard; Kansas City 0, MetroStars 1
4) March 31, 2012: Thierry Henry; New York 5, Montreal 2
The terrific hat-trick was one thing... well, three things, and the second goal, after a turnaround spin, was rather spectacular. But the backheel pass to Mehdi Ballouchy in front of the net, in traffic, was something else.
3) October 16, 2005: Tony Meola; Chivas USA 0, MetroStars 2
2) November 9, 2008: Dane Richards and Danny Cepero; Houston 0, New York 3
1) August 26, 2000: Clint Mathis; Dallas 4, MetroStars 6
