HEADLINES

Bye’s goal gives Revolution first win of the season: The goal had been coming, with the pitch tilting toward The Fort through the first quarter hour of the second half. But the Revolution would finally capitalize on all of that possession — all of that pure dominance — in the 62nd minute, as Brandon Bye, from a rather obtuse angle, punched in a Teal Bunbury “pass” to put New England ahead for the final half an hour. DeJuan Jones was also credited with an assist for playing Bunbury into space. The win puts The Boys In Blue up to 10th place in the Eastern Conference with 4 points.

QUOTABLE QUOTES


“You know, you guys and a lot of the experts out there are probably surprised that we've motivated the players to work hard, but all those players, every single day, we see them working hard, and the others that weren't involved in a couple of first-half performances that we've had here that haven't been up to par, you know, shouldn't be the focal point.”
— Brad Friedel
