McKenzie and Elliott partnership shines as Union scrape 0-0 draw

In their 14th start together as a center back duo, Mark McKenzie and Jack Elliott held off a feisty New England Revolution attack for a 0-0 draw on the road Thursday night.

The two combined for five tackles, four blocks, 10 recoveries and a whopping 15 clearances on a busy night at Gillette Stadium. While the Revs produced 15 shots with an xG of 2.01, they mustered just one shot on target, thanks largely to the defensive work of McKenzie and Elliott.

“Mark and Jack have taken a lot of the minutes and done a great job,” Jim Curtin said after the match.
