In the 19th minute of Saturday night’s crucial match vs Chicago Fire SC, left back Brandon Bye was dispossessed by right winger Aleksandar Katai in the Revs’ defensive third. The Serbian dribbled toward goal, feigned centerback Michael Mancienne into a block attempt to elude him, and then fired a shot past netminder Brad Knighton. The defensive mistakes opened the door to the match’s opening goal and an unexpected 1-0 Chicago lead.
Following a New England equalizer in the 62nd minute, speedy Fire left winger Raheem Edwards received a through ball in the area, then launched a cross that was inadvertently redirected into the net by Mancienne.
