NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The New England Revolution got the 2021 season off to a fast start with seven points from their first three games, but it was a slow start that set them back on Saturday afternoon at Nissan Stadium, where they suffered their first loss of the campaign, 2-0, to Nashville SC.
The visitors were pinned back for large portions of the opening half-hour and found themselves trailing 1-0 in the 25th minute when C.J Sapong latched onto a knockdown header from Walker Zimmerman. It was the first time the Revs had trailed since the first half of the season opener in Chicago.
