FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – A halftime tactical adjustment and a little help from Mother Nature spurred the New England Revolution to a 2-0 win over the Houston Dynamo on Saturday afternoon.
It was a tepid first half at Gillette Stadium as neither side managed to generate a shot on target, but head coach Jay Heaps urged the Revs to be more aggressive after the break, exploiting the Dynamo’s high line and using the shifting winds to their advantage.
“The wind was very difficult to play in,” Heaps said. “In the first half we were a little bit out of sync, we weren’t moving the ball and the tempo wasn’t great.
