The New England Revolution hope that Adam Buksa’s goal against the Columbus Crew is a sign of things to come.
After 83 minutes watching from the bench, the Polish striker replaced Arnór Traustason in Sunday’s game. Three minutes later he got on the end of a Brandon Bye cross to score the game-winner.
Buksa played almost 400 minutes since his last tally, which came in the season opener against the Chicago Fire. After his most recent strike, Bruce Arena noted he was “happy for Adam” because “Adam needed that goal.”
“He’s had some struggles in his finishing this year,” Arena explained later in the press conference.
