The New England Revolution had their home opener on Saturday and it was a momentous occasion. Fans finally made their return to Gillette Stadium.
There was also the news that Arnór Traustason, Christian Mafla, and Wilfrid Kaptoum would be getting their first starts for the Revs. This meant that Tommy McNamara and Tajon Buchanan were knocked out of the starting XI.
Also of note was the fact that Maciel was not on the bench. He missed the first game of the season due to injury, but was not listed on the injury report prior to the game.
