At one second, Bruce Arena looked like a genius but by the end of the match, that all changed.
New England drew 2-2 with the Columbus Crew on Saturday. While the draw was disappointing, it was the first time that the Revolution recorded back-to-back points since the first two games of the season.
The Revs were down 1-0 when Arena made a bold move. He subbed in Jozy Altidore and Ema Boateng in exchange for Andrew Farrell and Damian Rivera.
With Farrell having picked up a yellow card, New England transitioned to a three-man back line of Henry Kessler, Matt Polster, and Brandon Bye.
