Julin Fernndez scores in stoppage time as New York City tops the Crew 3-2 for
6th win in 8 matches
NEW YORK (AP) --- Hannes Wolf scored twice, Julin Fernndez had the
game-winning goal in stoppage time and New York City FC beat the Columbus Crew
3-2 on Wednesday night for its sixth win in eight matches.
New York City (15-9-5) beat Columbus (13-7-10) for the first time since May
2022. New York City is tied with Nashville for fourth place in the Eastern
Conference standings with 50 points.
Agustn Ojeda started the late sequence by dribbling it from New York City's
side of the field and leaving it for Fernndez at the corner of the 18-yard box
for a bending shot into the far corner of the net.
It was New York City's 10th win at home this season.
Wolf scored in a game for the first time since July 3 against Toronto.
Wolf tied it at 1-all in first-half stoppage time. Justin Haak sent a pass
across the goal that Patrick Schulte got a hand on, but it landed at the feet
of Wolf in front of goal.
Wolf had a one-touch finish at the back post in the 73rd to tie it at 2-all. It
was his fourth multi-goal game of the season.
Dniel Gazdag opened the scoring for Columbus on a penalty kick in the 40th. He
sent goalkeeper Matt Freese the wrong way for his third goal for the Crew and
fifth this season.
Wessam Abou Ali scored on a header off the post in the 60th for his second goal
in two games.
