Red Bulls stun second-seeded Crew 1-0 in Game 1
New York Red Bulls midfielder Felipe Carballo (20) celebrates scoring a goal with midfielder Emil Forsberg (10) during the first half of the MLS Cup Playoffs first round game against the Columbus Crew at Lower.com Field in Columbus on Oct. 29. Felipe Carballo scored in the 25th minute, Carlos Coronel made eight saves and the visiting New York Red Bulls moved within one match of eliminating the defending MLS Cup champions with a stunning 1-0 victory over the Columbus Crew in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference Round 1 series on Tuesday.
The No. 2 seed Crew not only had 19 more points in the regular season than the No. 7 Red Bulls, but their 66 points were second in MLS to Lionel Messi and Inter Miami.
Game 2 in the best-of-three series is Sunday in Harrison, N.J. The third, if necessary, will be in Columbus on Nov. 10.
Coronel made an amazing left-handed save on DeJuan Jones in the 83rd minute as the Crew pushed for the equalizer.
New York had lost all four previous playoff matches in Columbus but improved to 3-5-1 all-time in postseason matches vs. the Crew.
Carballo scored off a set piece situation when the Crew were caught ball-watching and he struck from the center of the box off a flick by Dylan Nealis.
It was a deserved lead as the Red Bulls’ high pressure stymied the usually dynamic Crew attack that has scored more goals in the past two seasons than any club in MLS.
Columbus’ second-leading contributor Diego Rossi (12 goals, 11 assists) was unavailable because of back issues.
Coronel came up big with saves on Christian Ramirez and Cucho Hernandez early in the second half.
The Crew had 73 percent of the possession for the match but was either thwarted by Coronel or poor in finishing.
Columbus defeated the Red Bulls twice in the regular season. Most recently, they edged the host New York 3-2 on a 97th-minute goal by Malte Amundsen in the Oct. 19 regular-season finale.
Amundsen was unavailable Tuesday because of an injury.
The Crew were extended to three matches by Atlanta United in the 2023 Round 1, although in that case they won the first match.
They seek to join the Los Angeles Galaxy (2011-12), Houston Dynamo (2006-07) and D.C. United (1996-97) as repeat champions.

Charlie Woods' U.S. Junior run ends with bogey in playoff
Charlie Woods watches his tee shot during the 109th Florida Amateur Championship at The Club at Admiral’s Cove on June 11, 2026, in Jupiter, Florida. Charlie Woods’ run at the 2026 U.S. Junior Amateur ended early Wednesday with a bogey on the first playoff hole.
The 17-year-old son of Tiger Woods fell shy of advancing to match play at Saucon Valley Country Club in Bethlehem, Pa.
Charlie Woods was one of 14 golfers in the playoff, competing for two spots in match play. The Florida State commit went 76-70 in stroke play, topping his previous performances of 80-74 in 2025 and 82-80 in 2024.
Woods was 6-over-par through five holes in Monday’s round before rebounding strong and playing his next 31 holes in 1-under par.
In Wednesday’s playoff, Woods’ tee shot at the par-5 first hole found the middle of the fairway, about 270 yards from the hole. With two players ahead of him having already carded birdies, he went for the green in two but found thick rough. His pitch ended up on the fringe and his birdie chip slid past the hole, ending his day.
Eli Wessel, Hudson Kutchma and Leo Gao birdied to advance to the second playoff hole, where Wessel and Kutchma made pars to move on to match play.
Woods is heading into his senior season of high school and is expected to sign with the Seminoles, where he will join No. 1-ranked junior Miles Russell in the 2027 recruiting class. Russell shared medalist honors this week and entered match play as the No. 2 seed.
Woods entered the week ranked No. 174 by the American Junior Golf Association.

Stephen Curry first active player showcased by Hall of Fame
Sep 25, 2022; San Francisco, CA, USA; Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (30) poses with the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophies during Media Day at the Chase Center. Mandatory Credit: Cary Edmondson-Imagn Images The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame will break with tradition Friday when it opens an exhibition highlighting the career of Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry. No other player in league history has received such an honor while still active.
The exhibition is titled “Stephen Curry: Beyond the Arc” and takes a look at the four-time NBA champion and two-time MVP both on and off the court. Curry’s business team partnered with the Hall of Fame on the project.
“The exhibit is designed to explore his multifaceted legacy as a basketball icon, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and family man,” the Hall of Fame said in a news release.
This will be the first look at Curry’s legacy at the Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass., but not the last. He is certain of being selected for enshrinement into the hall as soon as he is eligible, post-retirement.
“When I think about my journey, I think about the people who believed in me, the work that happened when nobody was watching and the moments that shaped me on and off the court,” said Curry, 38.
“To have that story told while I’m still playing is something I don’t take lightly. My hope is that fans walk through this experience and feel the joy, the purpose and the gratitude that basketball has given me, and maybe see a little bit of their own journey in it too.”
A closing date has not been set for the exhibition.

Cardinals OL Isaiah Adams facing gun charges in Canada
Arizona Cardinals offensive lineman Isaiah Adams (74) watches from the sidelines during the team’s practice at State Farm Stadium on July 29, 2025. Arizona Cardinals offensive lineman Isaiah Adams is facing multiple charges related to a guns and gangs investigation in his native Canada.
Adams turned himself into Durham Regional Police in the Toronto area on Sunday on charges of possessing a weapon by crime, possessing a restricted or prohibited firearm without a license, possessing a loaded firearm and possessing a prohibited device.
His 27-year-old sister, Allyson Mae Adams, was charged with the same crimes as part of the investigation.
Adams, who turned 26 on Tuesday, has since returned to Arizona and is expected to report to training camp on Wednesday, according to ESPN. The Cardinals begin practice on Thursday.
The Cardinals said Tuesday that they were aware of the situation.
“Out of respect for the process, we will refrain from commenting further at this time,” a team spokesperson said.
A third-round draft pick by Arizona in 2024, the 6-foot-4, 315-pound Adams appeared in 32 games with 16 starts in his first two NFL seasons. He is expected to compete with rookie Chase Bistonis for the starting job at right guard.
