FOXBOROUGH — All you need to know about the Revolution’s 1-0 win over New York Red Bulls Saturday night in quickie form, complete with BSJ insight and analysis:
HEADLINES
Penilla comes on late, gives New England three big points: Ecuadorian import Cristian Penilla hasn’t had many opportunities to get out there in the last month, and when he has, his touches have not necessarily been clean. But as he entered Saturday’s match with New York in the 71st minute, the light bulb went on and he capitalized on the chance barely three minutes later. On a counterattack starting on a Carles Gil dispossession, Penilla took Juan Fernando Caicedo’s well-weighted pass and slotted home beyond Luis Robles, putting the Revolution ahead by a goal to nil, and that held up through the last quarter-hour plus. It’s Penilla’s first of the year and 13th as a member of the Revs. New England leap-frogged New York into ninth (2-5-1, 7 points) with its second win of the season.
