One week after the New England Revolution beat Minnesota United for their first win of 2019, they dropped a 1-0 result to the Columbus Crew. Let’s take a look at what went right and wrong.
Positives:
The Revs are to be commended for their consistent 90-minute effort. I can’t recall any part of the game when the Revs let up. Equally impressive was their ability to compete effectively with 10 men after Mancienne’s ejection after the 64th minute. Their no-quit attitude continued unabated despite this setback. Their hard work caused the game to be played in the Crew’s defensive end for most of the first half and for much of the rest of the game, as well as resulting in numerous turnovers.
