SEATTLE – Six goals. A late penalty. Several lead changes. Multiple instances of Video Review. There was, in theory, plenty to talk about after the New England Revolution’s wild 3-3 draw with Seattle Sounders FC on Saturday afternoon at CenturyLink Field.
Bruce Arena just didn’t know what to say about it.
“I don’t even know how to comment on the game,” Arena said. “Just a mess, that game.”
It certainly started out as a mess for the Revs, who conceded inside two minutes when the Sounders caught them on the counter. But the visitors responded well and eventually turned a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead in an eight-minute span, Michael Mancienne’s first MLS goal – initially chalked off for a foul, then allowed to stand after Video Review – equalizing before Gustavo Bou pushed New England in front.
