FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – New England Revolution head coach Jay Heaps praised his center back pairing of Jose Goncalves and Andrew Farrell on Saturday afternoon after the duo played a key role in earning the Revs their first shutout of the season in a 0-0 draw with D.C. United.
After conceding three goals in last weekend’s season opener against the Houston Dynamo the Revs were well prepared to deal with a compact United side that sits deep and hits on the counter.
“We needed our center backs to be diligent,” said Heaps.
