FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Just 17 days ago, the New England Revolution travelled south to meet expansion team Atlanta United FC for the first time. By the 38th minute of the match the Revs were down to nine men due to a pair of red card ejections and entered the half behind, 4-0.
That first outing against Atlanta ended in a 7-0 loss, a night the team wanted to put behind them. Put it behind them, they would, but another meeting with the club was on the horizon. Atlanta entered “Fortress Foxboro” on the last day of September for another battle.
