New England Revolution News Release


PORTLAND, Ore. - The New England Revolution conceded a pair of late goals to Fanendo Adi and suffered a 2-0 loss to the Portland Timbers tonight at Providence Park. The Timbers top goal scorer, Adi came off the bench in the 67th minute and scored twice in the final five minutes to send the Revs to their fourth loss of the season. New England, who is winless in its last six games, is now 5-4-6 on the season for 21 points and remains in second place in the Eastern Conference.

Both teams had chances in the opening 45 minutes with the Timbers coming out on the front foot and creating a series of chances, the best of which saw Bobby Shuttleworth parry a Darlington Nagbe shot wide for the first of his three saves on the evening. At the other end of the field, Kelyn Rowe forced Portland goalkeeper Adam Larsen Kwarasey into a pair of awkward saves while Chris Tierney went close with a free kick from just outside the area.

After the break, Shuttleworth was called upon to deny both Nagbe and Maximiliano Urruti, but the Timbers were finally able to break the deadlock in the 86th minute when Adi headed the home side in front with his fifth goal of the season. Jorge Villafana curled a free kick into the center of the penalty area for Adi, who powered his header past Shuttleworth, giving Portland a 1-0 lead.

With New England pushing for an equalizer late on, the Timbers caught the Revs on the counterattack and Alves Powell hit a low cross into the box for Adi to side-foot home and seal a 2-0 victory. The Revolution remain winless all-time against Portland on the road, going 0-2-1 in three games against them at Providence Park with New England failing to score in any of the three games.
