Joseph’s late goal lifts Revs by Sounders
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Shalrie Joseph scored twice in the second half, including the go-ahead goal in the 87th minute, as the New England Revolution rallied for a crucial 2-1 victory over the Seattle Sounders FC on Saturday night.
The Revolution (10-8-7), who ended a three-match winless streak, temporarily moved into third place in the Eastern Conference with 37 points and into a tie with Chivas USA for seventh overall.
The top two teams from each conference qualify for the playoffs, while the teams with the next four highest point totals gain berths as wild cards.
Seattle (9-7-11) remained on 38 points, tied for third in the West and fifth overall. The first-year team had a three-match road unbeaten streak end.

Ok so am I the only person who is soooo over the brutal refs in this league??? Just finished watching the Sounders vs New England (congrats New England) and the second goal, Joseph was offside by about 1-2ft. I watched the goal about three times and he was clearly offside. But the worst part is that in the freeze frame you can see the linesman is way out of position. Linesman should ALWAYS be in position behind the LAST defender (in this case Hurtado) watching the opposing forward. hen you reply your dvr and watch when the ball is kicked you can see Joseph’s left foot is about half a body behind Hurtado. HEY MLS PLEASE send your refs to summer camp!!!!! |
