FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Friday night’s Audi MLS Cup Playoffs match between the New England Revolution and Montreal Impact appeared destined for extra time, as the final whistle and 30 more nerve-racking minutes (and potentially a penalty shootout) loomed just seconds away.
Then, Gustavo Bou happened.
Taking a square pass from DeJuan Jones, turning towards goal and finding space to shoot from 25 yards, Bou unleashed a rocket that flew inside the left post, giving the Revs a dramatic 2-1 win and setting up yet another meeting with the Philadelphia Union in Round One of the playoffs on Tuesday night.
