A soft goal by substitute, Rocco Quinn, had looked to be enough to see the Bhoys round off its American tour with a win. Quinn struck with an 80th minute effort that wrong-footed James Riley on the goal line, after Doug Warren had parried a Derek Riordan cross into his path. more details | go to article

by Sean Donahue (Result | Soccer New England - May 27)
Taylor Twellman scored his 7th goal of the season to give the Revs a 2-0 lead against a Wizards side missing three defensive starters. The lead was erased completely just three minutes later and soon after Kansas City went ahead. The Revs would tie the score briefly in the second half, before Eddie Johnson delivered his third goal of the day, ending the Revs seven game unbeaten streak and handing the Revs their first defeat since the season opener. Kansas City used their superior speed to slice through the Revolution defense and continue their recent dominance over Steve Nicol's team. A crowd of only just over 13,000, despite the earlier Bolivia-Ireland game as part of a doubleheader, witnessed the Revs lose for the first time at home in nine matches. more details | go to article
