The New England Revolution were whistled for three fouls in the box during the first half of Saturday’s 4-2 loss to New York City FC. The visitors questioned some of these calls.
“It’s tough when they have those chances to score a goal in the first half, especially on penalties,” DeJuan Jones said after the game. “I don’t know if they all should have been called penalties, but that’s the nature of the game.”
The first penalty was awarded when Andrew Farrell attempted a slide tackle on Talles Magno in the 9th minute. Magno converted the ensuing kick.
