Six States One Podcast - A Show About The New England Revolution

Gustavo’s Bou’s first appearance in a New England Revolution uniform could not have gone much better. Punishing rain and threats of nearby lighting left many wondering if the game would get off at all, but once it did, New England dominated — putting up 17 shots on goal in the first half while limiting the struggling Whitecaps to none. Bou opened his MLS account in the dying seconds of the first half when Carles Gil found him just outside the box -- Bou launched a shot with his right foot that tore past Vancouver keeper Maxime Crépeau.  Vancouver started strong in the second half and nearly even things up, but Theo Bair’s shot hit the left post in the 51st minute and bounced forward into Matt Turner’s arms. The Revs put the issue to rest in the 82nd minute when substitute Diego Fagundez headed home a Cristian Penilla cross that found the back of the net and Doubled New England’s lead. It was Fagundez’ first goal of the 2019 campaign. But the Revs weren’t done with offense. Penilla and red hot Teal Bunbury eac

Carles Gil doubled the Revs lead in the 32nd minute, he now leads the club with five goals on the season.  The Revolution played the final 27 minutes down a man after Wilfried Zahibo was ejected on a second yellow card The road result extends New England’s unbeaten streak to eight games and leaves the Revs just two points outside the final playoff spot.
