Aaron Kovar scored his first career MLS goal but the Seattle Sounders fell 2-1 in their Saturday night road matchup with the New England Revolution at Gillette Stadium.
Midfielder Lee Nguyen tallied the first goal for New England on a controversial first-half penalty kick call, with forward Femi Hollinger-Janzen tallying the game-winner in the 80th minute for the Revs.
Kovar gave Seattle the lead in just the 7th minute after he corralled a clearance attempt by New England goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth just outside the Revs penalty box. The Homegrown 22-year-old made a nifty move to side-step Revs defender Chris Tierney before lashing his shot past a diving Shuttleworth, affording the visitors the early 1-0 advantage.
