A Cinderella run in the MLS playoffs made the 2020 season a success for the New England Revolution. But what comes next?
The Revs snuck into the postseason, going 1-3-1 in their final five games. The eighth-place Revs faced the ninth-place Impact in the play-in round. It was a closely-contested match that the home team won because of a last-minute goal from Gustavo Bou.
The team won three consecutive games before being thoroughly outplayed by the Columbus Crew. These three games, which made up the team’s longest win streak of the year, created a new sense of optimism among the fanbase.
