Last Time Against the Revs
The last time the Lions and Revolution faced off was earlier this season in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Round of 16, with the Lions taking a 2-1 victory at Exploria Stadium. After a scoreless regulation, the two sides were forced into extra time where all three goals in the match were scored. Benji Michel and Tesho Akindele found the back of the net for the Lions in the 96th and 101st minutes respectively, with Justin Rennicks cutting the City lead in half in the 117th. The Lions would then go on to defeat NYCFC in penalty kicks in the Quarterfinals to advance to the Semifinal round.
