WHAT’S UP: Match Day 27 is upon us, and it’s Rivalry Week. To suggest that New England and Chicago is not a rivalry is folly, even though both teams have gone through some lean years as of late. But with both clubs in the hunt for a playoff spot, tonight’s fixture is massive.
Sweens here at Gillette, where it is an absolutely gorgeous late summer day. Your starting lineups and benches are live, and your match notes are below.
We are underway in this pivotal Eastern Conference six-pointer. Revs in the home navy blues and headed toward the Banner End, while the Fire are in the traditional red and headed toward The Fort in the first 45 minutes. Thanks for joining us on BSJ.
1' Reeeeeeally quick yellow card issued to Chicago's Gaitan. 26 seconds in.
2' Corner to the Revs. Gil tried to find Bou, and Fagundez would end up having an off-target go.
4' Azira's shot parried by Turner. Corner to the Fire.... close one to the far post, but just wide by Frankowski.
5' Second corner to the Revs.
11' Bunbury is down, Evan Allen out to check on him.
12' Cristian Penilla comes on for Bunbury. Interesting. Looking like a hamstring strain.
14' Farrell throws Gaitan off the ball. No yellow.
17' GOAL REVOLUTION, and that's Wilfried Zahibo! Great ball movement out in the channel, and he pounds in Brandon Bye's cross for the tally. Gil gets the secondary assist, could have given a third to Bou. 1-0 to New England.
