MLS: With the prospect of slipping out of remote playoff contention looming ominously, New England coach Jay Heaps took decisive action with his final two substitutions to try to retain hope for another week.
He looked down his bench and told Benny Feilhaber and Juan Toja to take the field for the final 17 minutes of the Revolution's 2-1 defeat at D.C. United.
“It allowed us to change formation a little bit,” Heaps told reporters after the match. “We wanted to go out guns blazing.”
