New York emerged victorious (3-2) in the most crucial match of the MLS weekend. With the Kansas City Wizards only needing a draw, the game was poised on the razor’s edge, as the team with the result would continue on to the post season.

Arnado Guevara punished the Wizards for suspect defending as he finished twice from the penalty spot. Guevara then scored his third for the hat-trick in the 75th min. with a solo effort.

New York will now face DC United in the first round on Oct. 21 at Giants Stadium with the return leg on Oct. 29 in Washington.
