FOXBOROUGH — All you need to know about the Revolution’s 2-1 win over the Chicago Fire Saturday night in quickie form, complete with BSJ insight and analysis:

HEADLINES

Bou’s late blast gives Revolution a key three points in Eastern Conference race: Four goals in six games for Gustavo Bou? Make that five in seven, and boy, did he absolutely deliver in the clutch. Bou had lost the ball, recovered it, then blistered the back of the net in front of The Fort thanks to his 86th-minute goal, which gave New England a 2-1 win and helped it hold on to sixth place in the Eastern Conference. The Revs are now 10-9-8 through 27 matches (38 points) with seven more to play.

QUOTABLE QUOTES


“It was a battle. I think they played real hard. They made the game difficult for us. And with Teal going out early in the game, we lost the presence of a real No. 9, although Penilla came in and did a good job. As the game went on, I think they were a little bit more dominant in the air on second balls. And we picked it up probably around the 60-minute mark, got a little bit better. And I think the contributions we got out of Penilla tonight and Juan Agudelo and Juan Fernando Caicedo was very helpful, helpful. And obviously, the goal by Bou was another great goal.”


“That’s his bad foot. You should see his good one.”
