For 12 straight home openers at Gillette Stadium, the New England Revolution came away with at least a point. 13 straight results however would prove to be too much and more performances like that at home will lead to a long season in New England.
The Columbus Crew claimed a 2-0 result thanks to a brace from Gyasi Zardes as the Revs had a second half penalty and potential equalizer saved by Zack Steffan.
New England started well in the first ten minutes, holding a possession edge but not really generating any chances towards goal.
