FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – “When you shoot the ball on net, good things happen.”
That axiom held true for the New England Revolution on Saturday night at Gillette Stadium, where Gustavo Bou’s 86th-minute shot crept through the arms of Toronto FC goalkeeper Quentin Westberg, rescuing a point – and denying TFC two – in a 1-1 draw between Eastern Conference playoff contenders.
The goal was in stark contrast to Bou’s stunning late winner last weekend against the Chicago Fire. Instead of another rocket into the upper corner, this was a bouncing shot from 20 yards that Westberg will unquestionably want back as it slipped underneath his body and left arm.
