The New England Revolution wrapped up group play on Tuesday, settling for a scoreless draw with Toronto FC. Here are three thoughts from the game.
1. The Revs didn’t have a good first half. Stats help paint a picture of the flow of the game during the first 45 minutes. The Revs had completed 99 passes with only 17 happening in the attacking third. They held just 30% of possession and only managed two shots. Oh, and their two defensive midfielders earned yellow cards three minutes apart.
With Teal Bunbury and Tajon Buchanan manning the flanks, the Revs were hoping to use speed to get behind Toronto’s defense.
