The New England Revolution concluded the first half of their annual Arizona preseason camp unbeaten after a 2-1 victory over Sporting Kansas City earlier today.
Jay Heaps trotted out a strong starting lineup that featured a few wrinkles to accommodate missing or unavailable players like Juan Agudelo, who returned to Boston after international duty, and Xavier Kouassi and Benjamin Angoua who have yet to see preseason game minutes while recovering from injuries.
