BSJ Match #5 Breakdown & Review: Revolution 2, Minnesota United 1 - Team effort earns first win

The muskets, players, and fans were all firing on Saturday afternoon as Brad Friedel and Co. worked their way to their first three-point outing of the 2019 season. The players and coaching staff appeared to be on the same page because every aspect of the game plan was executed from the first whistle, to the last. Jalil Anibaba -- who opened the scoring for the match -- and Carles Gil set the tone early with demanding play, and continued to perform at their best throughout the entirety.

Let's look at the starting 11...

• Gil's foul and yellow card around the 70th minute


• Mancienne's time recovering after his injury in the 74th minute


• Farrell's recovery on his knock in the 76th minute


• A defensive substitution that welcomed Luis Caicedo for Teal Bunbury


• Cropper's no-nonsense clearance in the 85th minute


• The two other substitutions; each took almost an entire minute off of the game clock (Juan Fernando Caicedo for Juan Agudelo, and Wilfried Zahibo for Scott Caldwell)


• Bye taking the ball to the corner instead of attacking goal late in the 89th minute


• Gil and Juan Caicedo opting to play the free kick to Zahibo and take the ball to the corner to take time off the clock
