Stymied, thwarted, denied, stonewalled -- no matter your verb choice, the Fire were undoubtedly dogged in defense of Matt Lampson's goal during their 2-1 win over a game New England side Saturday night at Gillette Stadium.
Despite a near 50/50 split in possession for the game, the match will likely be remembered for the onslaught of shot attempts brought by the Revs as they pushed hard for an equalizer late on in the second half, and for the collective efforts of the Men In Red to keep the ball out of the net by any means necessary.
