FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution set a goal heading into Saturday night's home match against the longtime rival New York Red Bulls, and their mission was successfully completed in their 1-0 victory. While it’s no secret that New England were striving for a win, their sights were set beyond just three points as the team kept their first clean sheet of the season.
“Our goal in this game, believe it or not, was the clean sheet,” said head coach Brad Friedel. “That was our goal. We’ve been leaking too many (goals) on quick attacks and we worked hard on the midfielders.
