Revolution Leaves Chivas USA All Wet in 3-1 Win
Shalrie Joseph and Taylor Twellman scored second-half goals to help the New England Revolution beat Chivas USA, 3-1, on Saturday night in a game played at times in a driving rain at Foxborough, Mass.
Joseph scored on a header after a cross from Jay Heaps in the 53rd minute, and Twellman beat Chivas defender Carlos Llamosa to make it 3-1 in the 86th minute.
“They made a couple of plays,” Chivas Coach Bob Bradley said. “
Chivas (1-3-1) broke a 134-minute goal drought in the 19th minute when Francisco Mendoza converted a cross from Ante Razov.
But four minutes later, the Revolution (3-2-1) scored the tying goal when Andy Dorman converted a long through ball from Jose Cancela.
“We’ve got to get more confidence, more guts when games are on the line,” Bradley said. “Guys need to step up and make some plays.
“I thought generally we played well, but playing well and winning is not the same.”
New England goalie Matt Reis made five saves and foiled three corner kicks.
