Brian Wright has only played three games as a professional but that didn’t stop him from scoring one of the most important goals of the year for the New England Revolution.
In the 48th minute of Wednesday’s U.S. Open Cup win over D.C. United, Wright got on the end of a Diego Fagundez feed to beat goalkeeper Travis Worra. It was a satisfying moment for the rookie, who had a similar opportunity hit the crossbar just three minutes earlier.
“We had a couple of opportunities. I missed the first one—I hit the crossbar—but I was happy to get that second one,” Wright assessed.
