WHAT’S UP: Match Day 31 is upon us, and it’s the start of a three-match “week” — well, nine days — for the Revs. Up first: Real Salt Lake, the new home of former Revolution stalwart Kelyn Rowe. And it's the penultimate home match for New England in 2019.
Sweens here at Gillette. Your starting lineups and benches are live, and your match notes are below.
We are underway. Thanks for joining us here on BSJ. Revs in the home navy blues headed toward the Banner End, RSL in red headed toward The Fort. Periodic updates to follow.
3' Revs going right at RSL, and there's a free kick out on the flank for New England.... Bunbury gets a touch on it, but Putna claims it.
7' Rowe with a shot on target.... other way, Gil has a go, off the top of the crossbar. He had that Upper 90 targeted.
10' Almost for JFC, as Bye's hard cross is just out of reach... and Penilla tries to get involved seconds later and his ball is deflected for a corner.
11' Herrera pulls JFC down, and it'll be a free kick.
13' Another corner for New England.... Putna claims the service.
17' Gil with an insertion, Penilla makes a run... right down to Putna.

40' Corner to the Revs. Third one of the first half.... and Putna handles the service.
