Derrick Etienne Jr. was the hero as he kept the Crew's playoff hopes alive with both goals in a 2-1 win over the New York Red Bulls.
in likely the final game of the season at Lower.com Field on Saturday night, the Crew knew they had to win to keep strong hopes of making the playoffs. A loss or a tie wouldn't eliminate them, but it would make the path much tougher.
And when Amaya's shot bounced past goalkeeper Eloy Room, it was met with a sense of resignation from the Crew. Midfielder Lucas Zelarayan entered the game as a substitute for Artur immediately after the goal, which provided a temporary lift to the Crew's attack, but it didn't take long for the Red Bulls to re-establish their press.
Minutes later, Etienne again had one of the best looks of the game as he received a pass from Jacen Russell-Rowe directly in front of the goal. But Etienne sent his shot well over the net, once again coming close, but not close enough, to the equalizer.
