FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The benefits of Tuesday night’s dramatic victory over the New York Red Bulls are twofold for the New England Revolution.
Most importantly it’s a victory that pushes the Revs one step closer to a trophy, as they’ll continue their quest for a second Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup title against Orlando City SC in the Round of 16 next Wednesday night (7:30 p.m. ET, streaming live on ESPN+).
But on a more basic level, another game means another opportunity for new sporting director and head coach Bruce Arena to continue evaluating his roster, as he’s been on the job just one month and has only been on the sidelines for two matches – the Open Cup win at New York, and a regular-season win in LA.
