CARSON, Calif. – The scene at the final whistle of Sunday night’s emotional 2-1 victory over the LA Galaxy said everything about what it meant to the New England Revolution.
After surviving a frantic final 10 minutes to secure their first road win of the season and make it a triumphant start in Bruce Arena’s first game on the sidelines, several Revolution players huddled at the edge of the 18-yard box, arms locked around each other’s shoulders, to soak in the moment.
“It was a group coming together collectively,” said goalkeeper Brad Knighton, who picked up his first win of the season in place of the suspended Matt Turner.
