The New England Revolution defeated the Houston Dynamo 2-0 on Saturday night. Here are three thoughts from the game.
1. Crstian Penilla is going to be the team’s MVP.
When Penilla first signed with the Revolution, head coach Brad Friedel said he was a “very exciting attacking player.” Four games into the 2018 season, the Ecuadorian has been better than advertised.
Currently sitting on one goal and three assists, Penilla has made appearances on the score sheet for every game, save for the opener when he was removed in the 27th minute due to Antonio Delamea’s red card.
