New England snap Red Bulls unbeaten streak: 3 things we learned

The Revolution got back in the win column Saturday, coming from behind to end New York’s five-game winning streak. Here’s what we learned from the match.

Despite hot start, Jesse Marsch’s tactics backfired

Missing five players, Marsch opted for a 4-3-1-2 formation instead of the traditional 4-2-3-1. With Luis Robles still injured, Ryan Meara kept his place in goal. Connor Lade replaced Michael Amir Murillo at right-back, Vincent Bezecourt started in a midfield trio alongside Florian Valot and Sean Davis. Aurilien Collin replaced Tim Parker at center-back.

Derrick Etienne started ahead of Daniel Royer in a striker-tandem with Bradley Wright-Phillips, and the latter opened the scoring with a nasty header.
