New England got the home shutout in the only Major League Soccer game of the weekend. Both goals came in the second-half with 64th-minute substitute Kelyn Rowe scoring in the 69th minute off an assist from Benny Feilhaber. The second goal came four minutes later, with Feilhaber scoring and Rowe providing the setup.

The New England Revolution and Chicago Fire looked destined to play to a scoreless draw in Major League Soccer's only match on Saturday, but Revs rookie Kelyn Rowe came on in the second half and gave the home side a sorely-needed spark at Gillette Stadium.

The UCLA product scored the opening goal in the 69th minute, then set up a 73rd-minute insurange goal from Benny Feilhaber to help lift New England to a 2-0 victory on Saturday night.

The New England Revolution snapped a 10 game winless streak against the Chicago Fire tonight at Gillette Stadium, largely thanks to the 2nd half substitution of Kelyn Rowe (1 goal, 1 assist) who gave the Revs the spark they needed to put away two goals and assure themselves of 3 points. Benny Feilhaber was also largely responsible for the win, as he notched a goal and an assist of his own on the night, the first of either that he's had so far in this 2012 campaign.

The Fire will have the spotlight all to themselves Saturday Night when we face off against the Revolution. It's the only MLS game on the docket, and both teams will be hungry for a win after crushing USOC losses. I expect this to be quite a match full of offense and scuffling play. These two teams have built somewhat of a rivalry up, and given the circumstances for both teams heading into this game, the stakes will be even higher.

One-by-one the results kept coming in Tuesday night, with each one seeming more unlikely than the last. On perhaps the wildest, most unpredictable night in U.S. Open Cup history, seven MLS teams were eliminated from the competition the third round, and the manner in which some of them were sent packing was downright shocking.

Unbelievable

If Jay Heaps was "flipping mad" last week over set pieces, I wonder how he's feeling after this one. Before long, teams are really going to get smart to the fact that we are totally incapable of defending on set pieces, if they haven't already. That and also the fact that Saer Sene cannot use his right foot in the box.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Revolution scored two early second-half goals to erase a 2-0 halftime deficit, but D.C. United sub Maicon Santos scored in the 61st minute to give the home side a 3-2 over New England.

It was the second straight game that a second half sub has scored and stolen points away from the Revolution, this time ruining a valiant second half comeback attempt led by goals from Saer Sene and AJ Soares.

On a hot and sticky night in the nation's capitol the New England Revolution fell to heated Eastern Conference rival D.C. United 3-2 after surrendering two woeful set-piece goals in the first half.

Saer Sene and A.J. Soares both found the scoresheet for New England in a wildly entertaining second half, but it was once again poor positioning and overall team defending that denied the Revs an important result on the road.

So I settled in to watch the Revolution-Dynamo match but I think my DVR recorded the wrong thing because I'm pretty sure I was watching a rugby match. The jerseys were the right colors and everything, but there's no way that what I saw on that field was soccer.

New England was due for a draw, and considering I find the Dynamo to be perhaps the club's fiercest rival at the moment, the result doesn't come as a shock, as these sides always play close contests.

I can't sing the praises of this team's Saturday night performance enough. I would never have expected the Revs to just shake off an early Vancouver goal like it was nothing, answer immediately, and then pile on 3 more for the win. If you had told me that last year, I would have laughed in your face.

After falling short of the playoffs two years in a row, the Revolution scrapped the old and embraced the new during the offseason. And that new approach has yielded a new coach and a fresher style of play that has made the Revolution competitive in each of their matches so far this season.

Saturday's tilt against Real Salt Lake was an all around great game to watch. It was a match filled with drama, emotion, goals and controversy. The Revs eventually fell 2-1 in what devolved into a 10v10 match. The go ahead goal came off an RSL set piece, where New England defenders again failed to trail their assignments and Alvaro Saborio, unmarked, headed it home.

The Revolution didn't look the part of a team at the end of an eight-day, three-game stretch on Saturday. But at the end of 90 minutes, New England succumbed to Real Salt Lake 2-1 at Rio Tinto Stadium.

Although Blake Brettschneider's 22nd minute goal put the Revs up early, Alvaro Saborio crashed the party with a pair of goals before the hour.

Coming off a disappointing loss in New York on Saturday afternoon, the Revolution returned home in search of answers ahead of their match with Colorado, and tonight, it was Saer Sene providing the answers, as well as Matt Reis' 100th victory in goal.

Fielding a largely unchanged squad (Revolution Head Coach Jay Heaps only made two changes: inserting Fernando Cardenas and Benny Feilhaber for Kelyn Rowe and Lee Nguyen) the Revs were able to overcome an early 1-0 deficit and prevail, 2-1.

The New England Revolution and Colorado Rapids kick things off at Gillette Stadium, where Benny Feilhaber is back in the starting lineup for the Revs, and Colorado has had to make some changes to the back line.

The New England Revolution is all set to take on the Colorado Rapids tonight at Gillette Stadium. The Revs will be hoping to improve upon a 2-5-0 record, including a three-match losing streak that spanned the month of April. Colorado, meanwhile, just dominated Chivas by a 4-0 scoreline and will hope that match was the coming-out party they've been waiting for under Oscar Pareja.

There is a boatload of reasons why the New England Revolution failed to score against the New York Red Bulls on Saturday, but perhaps the most disappointing was the poor quality of set pieces.

Three times this season the New York Red Bulls have score four or more goals in a match. With legendary French striker Thierry Henry and skilled and experienced American forward Kenny Cooper up top, it's not hard to see why.

With that in mind, any team venturing into Red Bull Arena would know the importance of a fast start.

On Saturday afternoon, the New York eRed Bulls defeated the New England Revolution 1-0 at Red Bull Arena. NYRB continued their trend with another quick strike to start the match, this one coming in the 7th minute.

Frenchman Thierry Henry used a soft touch to lob a shot over Revs keeper Matt Reis, giving the Red Bulls a lead they would not relinquish.

While much was made of the Revs' trip down to New Jersey to take on RBNY, it certainly didn't feel like the rivalry match we had all hoped for. Coming off a bye week and a bit of a layoff, New England came out flat and were punished for it in only the 7th minute, when Thierry Henry scored the only goal RBNY would need to defeat the Revs, 1-0.

Although they may have avoided granting another late-game goal, the Revolution's shaky form in the opening minutes proved to be their undoing in Saturday's 1-0 road loss to the Red Bulls.

While many predicted a high-scoring affair, Thierry Henry's 7th minute goal sealed it as the Revolution struggled inside the attacking third and became the victim of the Red Bulls' first defensive shutout of the season.

It would have been nice to win this one, especially being that it was against DC United. But alas, the chips did not fall in our favor. I think what hurts the most, after watching the replay, is that really just a few inches were the difference in the scoreline. It was just a matter of inches that Chris Tierney's first free kick didn't get past Joe Willis and just a matter of inches that Lee Nguyen's nutmeg shot in the 40th minute drifted wide of the post.

In what could be described as an early season three pointer, the Revs dropped a disappointing decision to hated rivals D.C. United on Saturday afternoon 2-1. Rivalry matches seem to always bring out higher scrutiny, bigger pressure, and heated debate, and this one is certainly no different.

Once again the Revs had their hands a bit tied with injuries (Lozano, Feilhaber) and suspensions (Shalrie), so it was up to coach Jay Heaps to get creative and try to put forth a game plan that would garner three points at home.

It's never easy for a team to play without its leader. That proved to be the case on Saturday as the New England Revolution were unable to compensate for the absence of Shalrie Joseph in a 2-1 loss to D.C. United.

Joseph, the Revs' midfield general for the past decade, was forced to sit out the match after the MLS Disciplinary Committee issued a retroactive suspension on April 10 for a tackle he committed in the Revs 1-0 loss to FC Dallas on April 5.

Early goals, excitement in the middle, and losing the game late. These are all things that this season's New England Revolution are starting to do to us. The team debuted Jose Moreno, to minimal fanfare, and had the comeback of Benny Feilhaber held on a day where the Boston Celtics, Boston Bruins, and Boston Red Sox were all playing.
