Notes: Tab Ramos made his 1997 MetroStars debut, playing 64 minutes before being replaced by Cris da Silva. “I felt good,” Ramos said. “The best thing is my knee felt fine. Towards the end, my hamstrings got tight and I decided to call it a night… I didn’t play great, but overall, I’m happy. I shied away from a couple of tackles, but, in time, I think I’ll be able to play my normal game.”…. The Metros face another injury problem, as Colombian forward Antony De Avila suffered a broken arm when he was kicked in the 35th minute. He will have surgery June 26 in Manhattan to repair his left ulna and will be out 2-3 weeks…. The Metros face the A-League’s Hershey Wildcats June 29, and return to MLS action at Tampa Bay on July 4.
