The Revolution played what was almost a must win game when looking at the playoff picture Saturday night and they played this game with one goal in mind and that was to win the game. They did just that as they outscored the Philadelphia Union with two late goals to win 3-0.
Revolution keeper Cody Cropper recorded his 5th shutout of the season tonight making 4 saves. This marks back-to-back home victories for the Revolution as they continue to dominate well playing at Gillette Stadium in front of the home town crowd.
Kei Kamara has been playing great as of late as he has scored 3 goals in the past two games. His first goal came in the 38th minute with his second one coming in the 85th minute. Juan Agudelo scored the third and final goal for the Revolution in the 89th minute for his 7th goal of the season.
The Revs have scored seven goals in the past two games as they are starting to slowly climb back up the standing and are now back in the fight for the playoffs. It was a big conference win as this one will bump them up into the 8th spot in the East. They are now only four points behind the Columbus Crew for the final playoff spot.
With this loss, the Philadelphia Union are now tied but under the Revs in the standings for 8th place.
The Revs will next play in a week when they take on the number two team in the East the Chicago Fire.
