The New England Revolution battled the Portland Timbers to a 2-2 draw on Saturday night. Here are four thoughts from the game.
1. Earl Edwards Jr. performed well. Before Saturday’s game, Edwards Jr. was 1-3-1 in MLS play with his last appearance being a 3-3 draw on Aug. 4, 2018. Edwards Jr. played some lower division games since then, waiting to have another chance in MLS. That moment came on Saturday and he made the most of it. Edwards Jr. made a critical save in the opening minutes of the game and had another soon after.
