FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – It’s natural for a head coach to shake things up during a difficult run of results and Brad Friedel did that on Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium, handing Brian Wright a first MLS start and Isaac Angking a professional debut in the New England Revolution’s 1-0 win over New York City FC.
One other significant change that Friedel made was between the sticks as veteran goalkeeper Brad Knighton made his first start of the year in place of Matt Turner, who had started the first 26 games of the season and earned high praise in the process.
