Ronald Donkor, Ethan Horvath Help Red Bulls Beat Crew 1-0 to End Winless Streak at 6

On Saturday, the New York Red Bulls defeated the Columbus Crew 1-0 at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field, with midfielder Ronald Donkor scoring the decisive goal in the 89th minute. The victory moved New York into the final Eastern Conference playoff spot.
The victory snapped a 0-4-2 winless stretch for the Red Bulls, who struggled for points in recent weeks. For the Crew, the loss marked their sixth defeat in seven MLS games, leaving them with 23 points outside the playoff picture.
Following a Crew turnover, Donkor finished from 15 feet out with assists from Cameron Harper and Dylan Nealis. Crew goalkeeper Patrick Schulte made four saves but could not prevent the late goal.
Crew interim coach Laurent Courtois attributed the loss to the team feeling "fragile" and lacking freshness after accumulating fatigue from consecutive matches. He said the squad was "punished" when tired and unable to finish scoring opportunities.
Captain Sean Zawadzki insisted the squad remains "a resilient group" ahead of Tuesday's U.S. Open Cup semifinal against Orlando. The Red Bulls face New York City FC on Friday.
