The MetroStars got off to a winning start on their two-game European tour, getting second-half goals from Steve Jolley and Mark Chung — both on assists from Tab Ramos — to beat Austrian First Division club Salzburg, 2-0, in Salzburg. The MetroStars nearly got on the board in the game’s eighth minute, when forward O’Neil Peart was taken down in the penalty area and the MetroStars were awarded a penalty kick. But Salzburg goalkeeper Szabolcs Safar stopped Alex Comas’ shot, and the game remained scoreless through halftime. But in the 51st minute, Ramos lofted a free kick deep into the penalty area where Jolley leaped and headed the ball into the corner to put the MetroStars up 1-0. Chung sealed the victory in the 82nd minute, taking a feed from Ramos and blasting a left-footed shot into the far right corner of the goal to complete the scoring. Mike Amman played the first half of the game in goal, and Tim Howard the second for the MetroStars, with each goalkeeper making three saves. The Metros conclude their tour with a match against German club FC Cologne in Troisdorf on Tuesday, Oct. 31.
