MLS Classics: Remix | Savarese, Joseph to feature on MLSsoccer.com's re-air of MetroStars 1996 barnburner today at 1pm PT

Before they were leading the Portland Timbers as head coach and assistant coach respectively, Giovanni Savarese and Miles Joseph were teammates on the New York/New Jersey MetroStars in the early days of Major League Soccer.

On today's MLS Classics: Remix, MLSsoccer.com goes back to a wild May 4, 1996 night that saw the MetroStars go down three goals early only to come storming back to tie at 3-3 thanks to a dramatic brace from Savarese who came off the bench in the 63rd minute. With then-MLS rules requiring a tie game to be decided by unique run-up penalty kicks, NY/NJ went on to win the match 4-3.
