FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – According to the old cliché, a two-goal lead is the most dangerous lead in soccer. If that’s the case, then the New England Revolution would like to live dangerously.
Ten games into the 2016 season the Revs have yet to hold a two-goal lead at any point, and it’s left them vulnerable. A single mistake can turn a one-goal lead into a tie game, a scenario the Revolution experienced twice in last weekend’s 2-2 draw with Orlando City SC.
That’s why the Revolution aren’t just focused on scoring the game’s first goal, but also bagging the second goal to put games out of reach before their opponents can recover.
