Andrea Pirlo played his final match for New York City FC on Sunday, making a late cameo as his side was eliminated by the Columbus Crew in MLS playoff action.
The 38-year-old Italian legend came on in the 90th minute of NYCFC's 2-0 win over the Columbus Crew at Yankee Stadium as Patrick Vieira's side pushed for the third goal they needed on aggregate.
But Pirlo, who had been an unused substitute in NYCFC's previous five matches, was unable to produce a final moment of magic as Columbus advanced to the Eastern Conference final with a 4-3 aggregate win.
