Revolution 1, Fire 0 - Three Thoughts As Watson Steals Win Late

Je-Vaughn Watson put the Revs on his back midweek and did so again yesterday as New England pulled out a late victory over Chicago.

Four days earlier it was Je-Vaughn Watson who carried the New England Revolution into the semifinals with a goal and clinching penalty kick in a 4-2 shootout victory over Philadelphia.

Yesterday, Watson was the hero again as he headed in a corner kick in the 85th minute to give the Revs a 1-0 win over the Chicago Fire.

In a game where the Revolution put 11 shots on target to Chicago's none and Sean Johnson was spectacular right until the end, it was a much needed win for a weary Revs team that played an extra time Open Cup game midweek.
