Columbus Crew

The Kansas City Wiz came back from a two-goal deficit with four straight second-half goals to score a 6-4 victory over the Columbus Crew in a Major League Soccer game last night. Preki and Mo Johnston each scored two goals for Kansas City as the Wiz moved into second place in the MLS Western Division. Columbus led, 4-2, before Preki narrowed the margin by scoring on a penalty kick in the 67th minute. The Wiz then gained the victory with goals by Mike Sorber in the 77th minute, Johnston in the 80th, and Preki again in the 88th.

The New York-New Jersey MetroStars made it through their third game of the new Major League Soccer season last night without experiencing a victory. They've also made it through two home games at Giants Stadium without scoring a goal. Last night, in front of 26,416, the MetroStars lost, 2-0, to the Columbus Crew, foiled by some world-class goalkeeping by Bo Oshoniyi. When Oshoniyi wasn't stopping shots, New York-New Jersey (0-3) missed several open nets and a penalty kick by Tab Ramos.
