FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – If you’d given New England Revolution head coach Brad Friedel a pen and asked him to script out how he would’ve liked the opening stages of Saturday night’s meeting with Toronto FC to unfold, he likely would’ve written something close to what transpired at Gillette Stadium.
Pouncing on a pair of TFC turnovers, Cristian Penilla struck twice inside seven minutes – the earliest a player has scored two goals in Revolution history – as the Revs overwhelmed the visitors en route to a 3-2 win in front of 19,000+ on a rainy night in Foxborough.
