New England Revolutions wins over Chicago Fire

November 10th, 2007 Posted in MLS

The New England Revolution won the second leg of the Eastern Confrence title game on Thursday, 1-0. This allowed the Revolution to go to their third straight MLS Cup game. Taylor Twellman had an acrobatic goal in the 38th minute to put the Revolution ahead. The ball was crossed from the outside and hit up by one of the defenders where when the ball fell down Twellman got on his horse and biked the ball into the bottom right side of the net.  This goal ended up being the game winner and the only goal scored in the two legs of the Eastern Confrence final. This was Twellman’s third straight game winning goal in the last 6 playoff games.

The fire kept up the great pressure throughout the rest of the game but was unsuccessful in their attempts. Blanco continued to pressure and try to ignite a spark within his team, but fell short. The fire didn’t seem to have any real urgency or passion in the game until the last ten minutes, which was dissapointing to see because the Revolution seemed to keep up the intensity and pressure throughout the whole game.

The Revolution will be playing the winner of the Kansas City v. Houston game on October 18th.
