John Tolkin scored his first career goal and Carlos Miguel Coronel made four saves when the New York Red Bulls defeated the Columbus Crew 1-0 in Harrison, N.J., on Wednesday to end a seven-game winless streak.
Tolkin, the 19-year-old homegrown product in his 16th MLS game, put the Red Bulls (6-9-4, 22 points) in the lead in the 33rd minute. New York was 0-4-3 in its previous seven games.
The Crew (6-8-6, 24 points) lost their fifth straight and U.S. national team forward Gyasi Zardes to a possible hamstring injury in the 42nd minute when he attempted to tie the score at 1-1.
