Nashville 1-1 Red Bulls: twelfth straight playoffs clinched at eleventh hour

While the song wasn’t always in tune for the New York Red Bulls in the Music City, they hit enough of the right notes to survive Decision Day.

Fábio’s elegant finish in the game’s opening minute was enough for the Red Bulls to endure a siege from Nashville SC over the ensuing 90 and secure the 7th and final spot in the MLS playoffs. Hany Mukhtar scored a delicious free kick before the half to equalize for Nashville before a back-and-forth second period drew no further blood, ending in a draw that got New York where they needed to be.
