FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Five games into his New England Revolution tenure, Kei Kamara is still in search of his first goal or assist. But although the prolific forward has yet to put his own name on the scoresheet, his fingerprints have been all over it in recent weeks.
Kamara’s presence has no doubt sparked the Revolution’s attack, which averaged just 1.18 goals per game in the 11 matches before his arrival. With Kamara in the lineup, New England are averaging two goals per game and have won four out of five games in all competitions.
Much of that has to do with the attention Kamara draws, as players like Lee Nguyen (three goals, four assists since Kamara’s arrival) have benefitted from increased space.
