New England Revolution News Release


FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The New England Revolution (3-8-3, 12 pts.) drew the Montreal Impact, 0-0, before a crowd of 15,559 at Stade Saputo in the teams' Saturday matinee. In Interim Head Coach Mike Lapper's second game in charge, the Revolution grabbed an important road point before next week's home meeting with D.C. United on Saturday, May 25.

The Revolution defense earned the team's first shutout of the season in the scoreless draw, allowing a season-low two shots on target in the process. Defender Jalil Anibaba prevented a 33rd-minute Montreal goal with a goal-line clearance, and his seven clearances on the day were vital in the Revs' performance. Defenders Brandon Bye (9) and Andrew Farrell (6) also anchored the defense with multiple clearances to prevent Montreal from setting up on the attack.

Farrell's 90-minute outing in central defense marked the 200th regular season appearance of his MLS career, all coming with New England. He becomes the eighth Revolution player to reach the 200-game milestone, and leads all MLS outfield players in games started (198) and minutes played (17,628) since entering the league as the first-overall pick in the 2013 MLS SuperDraft.

New England returns to action on Saturday, May 25, when the club hosts Eastern Conference leaders D.C. United on Star Wars Night at Gillette Stadium. That match kicks off at 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC Sports Boston, 98.5 The Sports Hub, and in Portuguese on 1260 AM Nossa Radio.
