Saer Sene scored the eighth-fastest goal in MLS history after just 28 seconds and goalkeeper Matt Reis made it stand up with three saves – including the 1,000th of his illustrious career – as the Revolution claimed a 1-0 win over the Portland Timbers in the 2012 home opener at Gillette Stadium. It was the first career victory for head coach Jay Heaps after the Revolution suffered back-to-back losses on the road to start the season, while it was the sixth straight year the Revs won their home opener. The loss was Portland’s first of the season after starting the campaign with one win and one draw.
