WASHINGTON, D.C. – It was the New England Revolution’s strong reaction to conceding a pair of goals that earned them a point in last weekend’s draw with Orlando City SC. Unfortunately it was their lack of a reaction to conceding the opening goal on Saturday that led to a frustrating 3-0 loss to D.C. United.
The Revs were on top through the opening stages, registering the first five shots of the game through just eight minutes, but Lamar Neagle’s 33rd-minute penalty kick turned the tides as the Revs lost their spark at RFK Stadium.
“We weren’t in sync,” said Revolution head coach Jay Heaps.
