FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – A pair of uncharacteristic defensive breakdowns put the New England Revolution in an early 2-0 hole in Sunday night’s regular-season home finale against D.C. United, but head coach Bruce Arena – and more importantly, the players – never lost hope.
“Even when we were down two goals, I thought we had a chance to win the game,” Arena said.
Arena’s belief proved prophetic, as the Revs – who were 0-4-2 when conceding the first goal prior to Sunday night – clawed their way back from that early deficit en route to a wild 4-3 win over D.
