ORLANDO, Fla. – Sunday afternoon’s 3-1 win over Orlando City SC – which booked the New England Revolution’s place in the Eastern Conference Final for the first time since 2014 – perfectly encapsulated the mantra that big players make big plays in big games.
Gustavo Bou scored a pair of goals, Carles Gil bagged one goal and assisted on another, and Matt Turner – who finished second in Allstate Goalkeeper of the Year voting – made perhaps the play of the game when he denied Nani’s potentially game-tying penalty kick in the 74th minute.
