Crew v. Revolution: An in-depth analysis

Before their 85th-minute goal, the Crew completed 11 consecutive passes, taking the ball upfield from just outside their own penalty area to the opposite end line. This forced the Revs to concede a corner kick (taken by a very consistent Federico Higuain) that resulted in the game’s only goal.

So these 11 passes played a big part in the Crew goal, and one could say that this display of possession made the goal all the more deserved. I cannot remember the last time the Revs put on a similar passing performance. In this game, it was only from the 55th to the 60th minute that they passed pretty well.
