HOUSTON DYNAMO vs NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION BBVA COMPASS STADIUM, Houston, Texas September 29, 2012 (WEEK 30, MLS Game #287) 7:30 p.m. CT (FS-HOU+/MultiM; TVA) The Houston Dynamo kick off a crucial three-game homestand when they play host to the New England Revolution on Saturday evening at BBVA Compass Stadium. The Dynamo are grimly hanging on to fifth place in the Eastern Conference and the final playoff spot following a 3-1 loss at Philadelphia last weekend, still riding the second-longest home unbeaten streak in MLS history. The Revolution hit the road coming off a dramatic, last-gasp 1-1 draw with regional rival New York. REFEREE: Drew Fischer.

Luiz Camargo’s goal in the 87th minute overcame a brace from New England’s Saer Sene to leave the teams in a 2-2 draw, May 19 in New England. The Dynamo’s 1-0 win last year in their final meeting at Robertson Stadium was their first-ever home win vs. New England. The Revs had won on four consecutive trips to Houston. The teams have played for three cups. They met in back-to-back MLS Cup Finals in 2006 and 2007, the Dynamo winning on both occasions (on penalty kicks in MLS Cup 2006; 2-1 in MLS Cup 2007). They also met in the 2008 SuperLiga final (won by New England on penalties). Coaches record: Jay Heaps vs. HOU: P1 W0 L0 T1 … Dominic Kinnear vs. NE: P13 W2 L6 T5 LAST MEETING (MLS): 5/19: NE 2, HOU 2 (Sene 26, 57 – Bruin 32; Camargo 87) The Revolution took the lead on 25 minutes. Referee Baldomero Toledo pointed to the spot after Brad Davis clattered into Saer Sène in the area, and Sène took the ball and tucked home his fifth goal of the season. The Dynamo were level six minutes later as Davis served up his first assist of the season, swinging a free kick that Will Bruin nodded home for his fifth goal of the season before Matt Reis could clear it. The Revs struck against the run of play for a second time to grasp the lead. Sene robbed defender Geoff Cameron of possession in the middle third and surged down the left into the Dynamo penalty area, capping off the one-man move by thumping home his second of the night past goalkeeper Tally Hall at the near post. Yet the Dynamo came back to secure a draw with three minutes remaining. Brian Ching and Luiz Camargo played a quick one-two on the edge of the Revolution penalty area with the forward clipping the ball over the New England back four into Camargo's path on the left side of the penalty area, and the Brazilian midfielder kept his composure and polished off the move with his first MLS goal. NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION (4-3-1-2): Matt Reis - Kevin Alston, A.J.

MLS GAME INFORMATION
HOUSTON DYNAMO The Houston Dynamo saw their road winless streak extended, falling to a 3-1 loss to Philadelphia Union on Sunday afternoon at PPL Park. The Dynamo are in fifth place in the Eastern Conference with 46 points from 30 games. LAST MATCH Union took the lead in the 28th minute. Right back Ray Gaddis made a marauding run up the field and put in a cross that eventually found its way to Freddy Adu beyond the far post. Adu then cut the ball in front of goal and beat Dynamo goalkeeper Tally Hall to the near post. The Dynamo pulled level just a minute before halftime when Boniek García hit a beautiful strike off the post and in, following a great feed from Will Bruin, who sucked both defenders to him in the middle of the box. Adu netted his second goal of game when he banged home a 50th-minute penalty kick after André Hainault dragged down Philly’s Sheanon Williams in the box. Adu then left the game while clutching his left leg, replaced by Keon Daniel. Josué Martinez capped the victory in the 71th minute when he got his foot on a blast from center back Amobi Okugo and took another touch to beat Hall right in front of the net. Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear made one change to the team that reached a 1-1 draw with Sporting Kansas City at Livestrong Sporting Park. Andre Hainault came into the back four in place of Corey Ashe. HOUSTON DYNAMO (4-3-3): Tally Hall - Kofi Sarkodie, Andre Hainault (Cam Weaver 81), Bobby Boswell, Jermaine Taylor - Luiz Camargo (Giles Barnes 63), Ricardo Clark, Brad Davis - Boniek Garcia, Will Bruin, Macoumba Kandji (Calen Carr 46). TEAM NEWS The Dynamo went for a fourth consecutive road match without a victory, and have now won just once in their last seven league matches overall. “The passing wasn’t good and on the road you need to keep the ball,” head coach Dominic Kinnear said. “To lose possession as much as we did it puts you under pressure. It was an opportunity missed for us to close the gap on some teams and pull away from others … We just couldn’t get on track.” Said goalkeeper Tally Hall: “This is the game that we looked at that needs to be three points. Coming out of here with zero in a tight playoff race, there’s no excuse for how the result went. We want to be a championship team; we’ve got to beat that team. With a performance like that, I’d expect the coach to be disappointed.” After their Aug. 3 win vs. New York, the Dynamo were tied for the Eastern Conference lead. After the current seven-game spell, they now sit in fifth place in the division, holding onto the final playoff spot by a single point. “I think the mentality has to be that [the three straight home games] all have to be wins,” Brad Davis said. “With where we’re at [in the standings] and what’s going on, our destiny’s in our own hands and if we get nine points at home we’re in pretty good position for the playoffs and maybe jump up a little bit.” Said forward Will Bruin: “We’ve got three at home and we’ve been tough at home and we’ve got to keep it going more than ever. This is going to make or break us these three games at home. We’ve got to come out with fire. We can’t take anything lightly … We want to improve our position and that starts with getting three points.” Since a string of seven matches where the Dynamo recorded six shutouts, they have allowed 12 goals in seven games, conceding multiple goals four times. “Obviously, there was miscommunication on the first [goal]. Their first one was important. To go down in that manner is frustrating, so it’s off to a bad start and it’s hard to recover,” said Hall. “I mean, again, same situation, we go down early in the second half and we’ve got to scramble to make corrections and to find a result and it’s a frustrating game.” Boniek Garcia scored his second goal since coming to the club, his first having come on July 15. Over his last five games, Garcia has a goal and three assists. Kofi Sarkodie made a third consecutive start at right back and collected his first career assist in MLS play. The New England game kicks off a series of three consecutive home matches for the Dynamo – where they have not lost in league play this season. The Dynamo’s home unbeaten streak sits at 22 games in league play, tying the Columbus Crew (2008-09) for the second-longest in MLS history. Real Salt Lake’s 29-game streak from 2009-11 is the league record. “We’re in a playoff push, of course, so we’re not pointing fingers at anyone else but ourselves, but it’s got to be better than this. There’s not many games left to make up points because we’re not in a good spot,” said defender Andre Hainault. Added Hall: “We’re still in the driver’s seat. Our destiny is in our hands, as the cliché goes.” NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION The New England Revolution continued their home success against the New York Red Bulls, coming back for a dramatic equalizer as the teams finished in a 1-1 draw Saturday evening at Gillette Stadium. The Revolution are in eighth place in the Eastern Conference with 29 points from 30 games.
MLS GAME INFORMATION
LAST MATCH The Red Bulls were reduced to 10 men in the 74th minute when Connor Lade was forced to haul down Benny Felihaber for his second bookable offense. The match looked destined for a scoreless draw until bedlam broke out in second-half stoppage time. Joel Lindpere handed the Red Bulls the lead a minute into second-half stoppage time with an opportunistic header after the Revs struggled to clear a Wilman Conde cross. But Darrius Barnes snatched a point in the final moments with his header from a Ryan Guy cross from the right side, his first professional goal for the 1-1 draw. Revolution head coach Jay Heaps made two changes to the team that dropped a 2-1 decision to D.C. United at RFK Stadium. Bobby Shuttleworth came in between the posts in place of Matt Reis, and A.J. Soares started in the back four for Stephen McCarthy. NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION (4-4-2): Bobby Shuttleworth - Florian Lechner (Stephen McCarthy 35), A.J. Soares, Darrius Barnes, Kevin Alston - Kelyn Rowe, Clyde Simms (Juan Toja 58), Ryan Guy, Lee Nguyen Diego Fagundez (Benny Feilhaber 73), Jerry Bengtson. TEAM NEWS The late equalizer meant that New York still has not won in New England for 10 years, now 16 matches without a victory. “We are in the process of building something. We took a lot of steps forward; we’ve obviously taken a few steps back,” said Revolution head coach Jay Heaps. “I wanted to be fighting for the playoffs right now, but we’re not. But that doesn’t mean, day-in and day-out, pushing the best teams in this league. And that’s something we pride ourselves on.” For center back Darrius Barnes, the goal was his first in 88 MLS league appearances, and came as he made a fourth consecutive start. “I keep telling Jay I'm a target forward. He doesn't believe me,” said Barnes. “ … Finally. It kind of felt like LeBron (James) winning his first championship. It's been a long time coming.” Goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth made his third league start of the season, his first since making starts in consecutive games July 8-14. “It seems like the past couple of seasons I seem to get a run of games here at the end. … It’s nice to get a nice run of games where I can kind of get some momentum going and get comfortable and try and be consistent in there,” said Shuttleworth. Said Heaps: “We’re at a place now where Bobby’s fully healthy and we’re getting a chance to see him over … a number of games, but I wanted to let him know he has a couple of chances to really show where his trajectory is going to be. Whether it’s top-class goalkeeper where we think he can go, he needs time. He needs opportunity and tonight was about getting him that.” A.J. Soares also made his return to the lineup after a three-match absence. “We know A.J.’s been fighting hard all season and tonight was about rotation. We’re going to see some more players over the next couple of weeks, as well.” Making his fourth consecutive start on the right side of the back four, Flo Lechner was forced from the field before halftime with a right knee sprain. “That hurt our attacking subs later. Flo Lechner’s played really well. There isn’t a more disappointed guy in that locker room than Flo. Same thing happened to us against Toronto. When you lose a defender in the first half, you’re forced to make the sub, change it a little bit,” said Heaps. “But then when we wanted to bring one more attacking player on and switch up the formation, we couldn’t get to that 3-5-2 that we really wanted to because our attacking players were already subbed on.” After the match, midfielder Lee Nguyen’s season came to an end when he underwent surgery to repair the chronic instability in his right shoulder. “We've known that this surgery was going to happen for a couple of weeks,” Heaps said. “The players didn't know, but once they realized that a guy who has been a consistent starter will be out of the lineup, [they realized] there's an opportunity there. You can see guys stepping up to want to get that chance.”

DYNAMO HOST NEW ENGLAND TO BEGIN IMPORTANT FOUR-GAME HOMESTAND The Houston Dynamo (12‐8‐10; 46 points) host the New England Revolution (7‐15‐8, 29 points) on Saturday night to begin a critical four‐game homestand containing their final three regular season home games and the final game in CONCACAF Champions League group play.

NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION AT HOUSTON DYNAMO
MISCELLANEOUS TEAM NOTES TEAM AWARDS VOTE OPEN Voting is now open for the 2012 Team MVP (public vote) and 2012 Best Defender (media vote) … votes will be collected through 11:59 p.m. on Saturday, October 6, and the awards will be presented in a pregame ceremony on Saturday, October 20, before the team plays its 2012 home finale against the Chicago Fire … the MVP vote is available at revolutionsoccer. net, while the Best Defender vote is available by request via e-mail at media@revolutionsoccer.net.
A BIT OF LATE-GAME MAGIC TO EXTEND RECORD STREAK Saturday night, the Revs extended their home unbeaten streak against New York to an MLSrecord 16 regular-season games at Gillette Stadium, but they did it in grand fashion … despite conceding the game’s first goal in the 91st minute, the Revs responded with a 95th-minute equalizer on a header from Darrius Barnes … since 2002, the Revs are 11-0-5 at Gillette Stadium against New York, marking the longest winless streak at an away venue by any MLS team in league history.
NGUYEN OUT FOR SEASON On Monday morning, Lee Nguyen underwent season-ending shoulder surgery to correct chronic instability in his right shoulder … head team physician Dr. Scott Martin performed a Latarjet procedure on Nguyen at the Brigham and Women’s/Mass General Health Care Center in Foxborough … Nguyen will miss the remainder of the 2012 season and is expected to return to full participation in approximately four months.
LATE-GAME HEROICS Darrius Barnes’ goal – a 95th-minute equalizer against New York on Saturday – was the Revs’ third game-tying goal in the 94th minute or later this year … earlier this season, Chris Tierney scored a 94th minute goal on June 23 at Toronto, and Diego Fagundez scored in the 94th minute on June 30 against Seattle in the very next game.
LEE GAVE REVS CHANCE TO WIN Lee Nguyen was the only Revs player that appeared in the first 30 games this season before undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery on Monday ... in 30 appearances -- including 27 starts -- Nguyen contributed five goals and two assists and ranked second on the team in scoring behind Saer Sene ... Nguyen joined the Revolution on March 2, 2012, through the Waiver Draft after Vancouver waived him the day before ... he was the MLS player of the week for Week 10 following a two-goal, one assist performance in a 4-1 Revs win against his former team. CALLING ALL GOAL-SCORERS Saer Sene (11 goals) and Lee Nguyen (5) accounted for more than 40 percent (16-of-37 goals, 43 percent) of Revolution’s scoring this year ... with both of the players rule out for the rst of the year following surgeries -- an ACL surgery for Sene and shoulder surgery for Nguyen -- other Revs will be called upon to account for the absence of the two newcomers in the scoring column ... Kelyn Rowe is third on the team with three goals ... after Rowe, there is a four-way tie for fourth as Jerry Bengtson, Blake Brettschneider, Fernando Cardenas and Chris Tierney each have two goals apiece this year. NO PROBLEM IN HOUSTON The Revs will round out the month of September on the road when they travel to face the Houston Dynamo during the team’s second – and last – trip of the season to the Lone Star State … Saturday’s match will be the Revs’ inaugural visit to BBVA Compass Stadium, the Dynamo’s new home, which opened in May 2012 … the Revs found success in Houston at the Dynamo’s former home, Robertson Stadium, where they posted a 4-1-1 record in six matches since 2006. SPOILING THE HOUSE-WARMING PARTY While it is customary to bring a gift when welcomed to a new home, the Revs have decided to take a different approach in recent visits to newly-built stadiums ... since 2010, the Revs have taken earned points in three of their last six first-ever visits to newly-built stadiums ... in 2010, the Revolution was the first team to earn a draw at PPL Park ... whille they suffered a 2-0 loss in their first visit to New York’s Red Bull Arena on Oct. 21, 2010, they Revs played to a 1-1 draw at Kansas City’s Livestrong Sporting Park last season ... earlier this year, the team lost to Montreal, 2-1, at Saputo Stadium on July 18. A CHANCE TO END SEPTEMBER ON A WINNING NOTE The Revs struggled in the month of August but have a chance on Saturday to finish September with a winning record ... after going winless (0-4-1) in August, the Revs are 1-1-2 through four games this month ... a win at Houston would solidify September as a winning month with a .600 winning percentage (2-1-2) ... historically, September has been a cruel month to the Revs -- the team has not had a winning percentage above .500 since 2007 when the Revs went 2-1-1 (.625 winning percentage) in four games. DYNAMO AND REVS KEEP THINGS PREDICTABLE Although the two teams have met just 13 times in the regular season since 2006, each match has played out to a fairly similar result … in all but one meeting – the 2-1 Revs win in Houston on Oct. 10, 2010 - the end result has either been a shutout by the winning team, or a draw … overall, there have been seven shutouts and five draws in 13 regular-season meetings. REVS LOOK TO SHAKE ROAD RUT The Revs will play three of their last four games of the season on the road, beginning Saturday in Houston … although the team is unbeaten (1-0-3) in their last four games at Gillette Stadium, the Revs are winless (0-9-2) in their last 11 games on the road after claiming their lone road win - a 3-1 victory at LA - on March 31 … the Revs are still searching for their first road victory against an Eastern Conference foe this year as the team is 0-8-2 within the conference away from Foxborough.
BARNES GETS INTO THE SCORING MIX Defender Darrius Barnes scored his first career goal in the 95th-minute on Saturday to secure a point for the Revs … Barnes became the 15th Revolution goal-scorer this season … two other Revolution defenders have scored this season, including Chris Tierney (two goals) and A.J. Soares (one) … Barnes’ first career goal came in his 88th-career contest. SATURDAY’S LATE-GOAL IN CONTEXT His headed goal with just seconds remaining against New York on Saturday put Darrius Barnes into the Revolution record books … Barnes’ 95th minute goal marked the third time in club history that the team scored a goal in the 95th minute or later … Steve Ralston scored a game-tying goal in the 95th minute on July 29, 2006, in the 1-1 draw at Kansas City, and Taylor Twellman scored a 95th minute goal in the 3-0 win at Chicago on April 27, 2005. BARNES’ GOAL A LONG TIME COMING Darrius Barnes’ first career goal on Saturday came in his 88th career appearance ... Barnes quipped at his relief of finally getting the goal by saying postgame on Saturday, “Finally. It kind of felt like LeBron (James) winning his first championship. It’s been a long time coming.”... continued Barnes on the importance of the 95th-minute equalizer, “It’s just great that it came at that point in time, when we were down and they had just scored a goal in the 91st minute. We were able to have that resiliency and come back to get one of our own. It helped us to get a point, but we were unfortunate not to get three.” ... the Revs drafted Barnes with the third round (40th overall) in the 2009 SuperDraft. GUY UNAVAILABLE SATURDAY Jay Heaps’ lineup will look slightly different this weekend with the absence of Ryan Guy … Guy, who has started 11 of the last 12 contests, has joined Guam this week for his first international experience at the Paulino Alcantara Peace Cup in Manila, Philippines … before departing on Sunday, Guy recorded an assist on Darrius Barnes’ game-tying goal in the 95th minute on Saturday against New York … the 27-year old has recorded one goal and two assists in 20 appearances for the Revs this year. ROWE STEPS UP AGAIN With his assist on Darrius Barnes’ stoppage-time equalizer, Kelyn Rowe factored in a Revolution goal for the second consecutive game … following his third goal of the season in the 2-1 loss at D.C. on Sept. 15, Rowe returned with an assist on Barnes’ game-tying goal on Saturday against New York … in 26 appearances – including 18 starts – in his rookie campaign, Rowe has three goals and four assists and shares the team lead in assists with Chris Tierney … the Revs selected Rowe with the third overall pick in the 2012 MLS SuperDraft after he played two seasons at UCLA and was a member of the U.S. Under-20 Team. THE ROOKIE KNOWS HOW TO HELP OUT With his fourth assist of the season on Saturday, Kelyn Rowe became the first Revolution rookie since Kheli Dube in 2008 to record four or more assists in a season ... Rowe’s four assists are tied with Chris Tierney for the club lead this year … should Rowe finish the season with the club lead in assists, he would become the first rookie since Pat Noonan in 2003 to do so … that year, Noonan shared a four-way tie for the team lead after recording seven assists. KELYN THIRD AMONG ELITE ROOKIES After recording his fourth assist of the season on Saturday, Kelyn Rowe moved into third place in rookie scoring ... with three goals on top of his four assists, Rowe’s 10 points behind Vancouver’s Darren Mattocks, who has 15 points (7 goals, 1 assist), while D.C. United’s Nick DeLeon was second with 14 points (5 goals, 4 assists). ROOKIE ROWE RALLYING REVS Kelyn Rowe’s third goal of the season was New England’s lone goal in the 2-1 loss at D.C. on Sept. 15 ... following the match, Rowe remained positive about using the remaining games this season as motivation for improvement heading into 2013 ... said Rowe, “It’s obviously news none of us want to hear or take in, but it’s all about moving forward. We are definitely go-
NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION AT HOUSTON DYNAMO ing to play for pride. We need to get wins and make sure this club reclaims its glory and we are going to work every game and every day to get there.” BOBBY’S ALL BUSINESS AMONG BACKUPS Bobby Shuttleworth continues to deliver when called upon … in his third start of the season on Saturday, Shuttleworth conceded just his second goal of the season in the 1-1 draw against New York …Shuttleworth’s 0.67 goals against average leads the group of 10 back-up goalkeepers in MLS with three or more starts this year … Shuttleworth’s GAA is 0.33 goals per game fewer than Chicago’s Paolo Tornaghi, who is second (1.00 goals against average, three starts). BOBBIN’ FOR PLAYING TIME Jay Heaps gave Bobby Shuttleworth a chance on Saturday against New York, and the 25-year old did not disappoint, making three saves and allowing just one goal in the 1-1 draw ... after the game, Heaps admitted “we’re getting a chance to see him over one, two, three – I don’t have a number of games, but I wanted to let him know he has a couple of chances to really show where his trajectory is going to be.” ... Shuttleworth then spoke about the importance of getting a chance to shine, stating “it seems like the past couple of seasons I seem to get a run of games here at the end ... all the games they want to give me here, it’s nice obviously. It’s nice to get a nice run of games where I can kind of get some momentum going and get comfortable and try and be consistent in there.” SHUTTLE-WORTH YOUR TIME Bobby Shuttleworth added another 90 minutes to his resume on Saturday against New York ... in his fourth season with the Revs, Shuttleworth’s 1,401 minutes rank eighth on the club’s goalkeeping minutes list, ahead of Jim St. Andre (1,346) ... additionally, Saturday’s game was Shuttleworth’s 16 career appearances, pushing him past St. Andre (15) for eighth on the club’s all-time goalkeeper appearances list ... Shuttleworth is four appearances and 134 minutes shy of passing Aidan Heaney (19 appearances, 1,534 minutes) for seventh place on those respective club charts. GOAL DELIVERY IN 30 MINUTES OR LESS The Revs were unable to find an early goal against New York, but stilll lead the league in goalscoring within the first 30 minutes ... Kelyn Rowe’s 29th-minute goal at D.C. on Sept. 15 was the team’s league-leading 19th goal in the first 30 minutes of action this season … with Rowe’s goal in that window, the Revs have now scored more than half of their goals (19-of-37 total goals) this season within the first half-hour of play. ALSTON MOVES UP MINUTES CHARTS With his 90-minute performance on Saturday against New York, Kevin Alston moved up the club’s all-time minutes chart ... at 9,382 career minutes, Kevin Alston is now ninth on the list, and passed Jeff Larentowicz (9,305) last weekend ... Alston is now 915 minutes behind eighth-place Michael Parkhurst (10,297) ... the Indiana University product was the Revolution’s first pick (10th overall) in the 2009 SuperDraft and earlier this season became the first player in MLS from that draft class to reach 100 starts. BACKLINE SHIFTERS So far this season, a total of seven players have started on the backline and 10 players have spent time in the back in total during regular-season action: Kevin Alston* (RB, LB), Darrius Barnes* (CB, LB, RB), Ryan Guy (RB), A.J. Soares* (CB, LB), Stephen McCarthy* (CB), Chris Tierney* (LB), Tyler Polak (LB), Flo Lechner* (RB), John Lozano* (CB) and Shalrie Joseph* (CB) ... five different players have seen time at left back, five different players have played at center back, while four players have played right back as the team has run out a four-man backline in each of the team’s 30 games. (* indicates starters) DIEGO’S HELPING HAND IN SEPTEMBER Diego Fagundez recorded his second assist of the season against D.C. on Sept. 15 he fed Kelyn Rowe for the Revs’ lone goal in the loss ... Fagundez’s assist on Rowe’s goal was his third career assist and second assist in as many games … the 17-year old also recorded an assist on Dimity Imbongo’s goal in the team’s 2-0 win over Columbus on Sept. 5. DIEGO’S PROFILE OF COURAGE Diego Fagundez’s journey to the U.S. -- and less than 10 years later, to MLS -- was recently featured by MLSsoccer.com ... in a series of videos on the journey to excellence, sponsored by the U.S. Marine Corps, Fagundez and his father, Washington, are profiled for the decision to come to America from Uruguay when Diego was just six years old ... Washington, a professional soccer player, wanted a better life for his family and now fans have a chance to learn more about the courageous action by visiting mlssoccer.com OTHER REIS RECORD IN REACH In his next appearance, Matt Reis will move up the MLS career goalkeeping charts, passing Zach Thornton in another goalkeeping category ... with 276 career starts, Reis also one game shy of passing Thornton (276) for sole possesion of fourth place on the career starts list.
REIS APPROACHING ANOTHER 100-SAVE SEASON Matt Reis enters Saturday’s match with 92 saves this season -- eight shy of his seventh 100save season in his career ... should Reis reach the century mark in saves this year, he would be one of three goalkeepers to record 100 or more saves in seven seasons, joining Kevin Hartman and Joe Cannon (7) ... Reis recorded his first 100-save season in 2005, and then followed up again with 100-save seasons in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2011. TIERNEY STANDING ON A CORNER Although Chris Tierney has missed the last two matches with an injury, his next appearance could have the 26-year old moving up the club’s corner-kick chart again … with 157 career corner kicks, Tierney’s next corner kick will move him into tie with Imad Baba (158) for fourth place on the club’s all-time list … Tierney entered the season seventh on the list with 101 corner kicks and passed Alberto Naveda (108) and Andy Dorman (119) earlier this season … should he pass Baba, Tierney’s next task in sight would be passing Joe-Max Moore (209) for third place. UPPING THE DEFENSIVE INTENSITY, LEADING TO OFFENSIVE OPPORTUNITIES Following the team’s 10-game winless streak (0-7-3), the Revs have increased the amount of defensive intensity and pressure in the last three matches ... in those three matches since Sept. 5 against Columbus, the Revs have seen a decrease in opponent’s passing percentage and attempts on goal ... additionally, the defensive mindset has lead to an increase in offensive chances: Category 10 Game Winless Streak Record 0-7-3 Opponent Passing Percentage per Game 80.4 Opponents Shots per Game 14.7 Revs’ Shots per Game 13.2
Last Three Games 1-1-1 71.4 9.67 19.67
USUALLY FEAST OR FAMINE FOR REVS ... BUT LONE GOALS IN LAST TWO The Revs’ scoring this season has been feast or famine: the team has either been shut out or scored multiple goals in 22 of its 30 matches this year ... the Revs’ have only scored one goal in a game just eight times, including the last two games ... the team has been shut out 10 times, a mark which is tied with Philadelphia for third in MLS behind Portland (11) and Chivas USA (13) ... however, the Revs are tied for ninth in MLS in multiple-goal games with 12, as San Jose leads with 18 ... the club is also tied for eighth in MLS in three-plus goal games with four as San Jose and LA lead the league with nine. SAER WITH SUCCESSFUL ACL SURGERY AFTER MAKING A NAME FOR HIMSELF... Saer Sene underwent a successful surgery on Monday, Sept. 17, to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee ... Sene is expected to return to full action in 6-8 months ... with 11 goals this season -- including two in his final game before injury on Aug. 29 against Chivas USA -- Saer Sene is currently the team’s leading scorer … Sene became the first player since Taylor Twellman in 2007 to record more than 10 goals in a season ... the season-high goal scorers since 2007 season are below: Year 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012
