Apart from chasing the pipe dream of an 11-goal victory to clinch a playoff berth, the New England Revolution had little but pride to play for on Sunday night in Foxboro.
It would seem they have more than a little pride within them. New England came out firing and beat up the visiting Montreal Impact by a score of 3-0, a victory margin that could easily have been even bigger.
A near-record crowd of 39,587 were on hand to see it.
New England was strong out of the gate, and the breakthrough came in the 13th minute courtesy of local boy Diego Fagundez.
