FOXBOROUGH — All you need to know about the Revolution’s 2-1 win over New York Red Bulls in quickie form, with BSJ analysis and insight.

HEADLINES

New England comes from behind to pot two, and to take three: The resilient Revs (6-4-4, 22 points) fell behind early, but made the onion bag burp with a pair nearly an hour of real time apart. First, it was new papa Diego Fagundez feeling opportunistic as he followed a leading pass by Teal Bunbury and got a lay-off by Krisztian Nemeth; he then drove it across his body and into the net to put the match at level terms with practically the last kick of the first 45. Then, with 12 minutes of regulation time left, Bunbury scored his eighth of the season and 25th as a Revolution player on a Cristian Penilla helper to give the hosts a tremendous three points in the Eastern Conference race.

Bradley Wright-Phillips

QUOTABLE QUOTES


“I had an Under Armour on with her name on it, but once you get suspended for five yellows you don’t want to get another for something like that.”

Diego Fagundez


“I was happy, again, with the character the players showed (after) going a goal down, especially so early.”

Brad Friedel


“We’ve got a really good squad; whoever I put on the field, we fully expect to win. We’re going to Louisville to win the game. I’ve said this many times: losing can be a bad habit that you get into, and winning can be a great habit that you get into. No matter who gets on the field, we expect to have a good performance and hopefully progress in the Open Cup.”
