Associated Press
WASHINGTON —
Marco Etcheverry’s dramatic goal with 18 minutes remaining gave D.C. United a 1-0 Major League Soccer playoff victory over the New York/New Jersey MetroStars Friday night.
Etcheverry’s score on a feed from Jaime Moreno delighted the crowd of 21,442 at RFK Stadium and tied the Eastern Conference first-round playoff series, 1-1.
D.C. United will play host to the MetroStars in the final game of the best-of-three series Wednesday.
The MetroStars won the opening game in an overtime shootout and it appeared Friday’s game would also be decided by the shootout format until Etcheverry beat MetroStar keeper Tony Meola.
