Final: New England 3, #SportingKC 1. Should be a fun final month.- 90'+4'Second Half ends, New England Revolution 3, Sporting Kansas City 1.
Revs played so good tonight, let's hope they keep it up! RT @NERevolution: 90' #NERevs 3 SKC 1 We're into three minutes of added time.
We are all Orlando fans for the next 24 hours #NERevs- 90'+1'Attempt missed. Dominic Dwyer (Sporting Kansas City) header from the centre of the box misses to the right.

- 90'+1'Foul by Scott Caldwell (New England Revolution).
- 90'+1'Saad Abdul-Salaam (Sporting Kansas City) wins a free kick in the defensive half.
- 90' We'll have at least THREE minutes of stoppage time here at Gillette. SKC trailing by a pair. 3-1 #NEvSKC
Femi's idea of keeping it in the corner is "let's beat three SKC guys on the endline and try to score" and I'm okay with that. #NERevs

I love this new Juan Agudelo. I haven't seen him float around there once since returning to regular minutes #NERevs
I still don't think they'll make the playoffs, but when Agudelo is on, the #NERevs are tough to beat and he's been good for a few weeks now.
5g/3a for @JuanAgudelo in his last 6 games across all competitions. #NEvSKC
And while the D has had issues tonite, I don't want to hear Vermes only blame the D. Lack of O puts too much pressure on D #SportingKC
I wonder what the #NERevs record is with and without Agudelo. And goal differential. I feel like we're a lot better when he's playing
85' #NERevs 3 SKC 1 A huge round of applause for the departing @JuanAgudelo, who stayed hot with a goal and an assi… https://t.co/F7DT3jWoOv
I hate and still hate Kevin Ellis #SKC
And the #NERevs keep their playoff hopes alive..
Holy cats @keikamara just won this match. Phenomenal work. #NEvSKC
Agudelo makes it 3-1 and surely sees off SKC. #NEvSKC https://t.co/3krR6fWOrj- The forward combo of Lee-Kei-Juan is absolutely unfair #NERevs
- @NERevolution GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!! @keikamara gets the best of Opara, right across the face of goal, put home by @JuanAgudelo ! 3-1! #NEvSKC
- 85'Foul by Andrew Farrell (New England Revolution).

I miss @keikamara :( #SKC
Sweet goal by @JuanAgudelo to make it 3-1 #NERevs
Welp. Not our night. #NEvSKC- Fantastic work from @keikamara to win the ball and cross for @JuanAgudelo, who smashed a first-time shot into the roof of the net. #NERevs
Pretty cross by Kamara and finish by Agudelo 3-1 #NERevs that should lock in huge 3 pts- 82' Ugh. Agudelo makes it 3-1 after latching onto Kamara's low cross and hammering into the roof of the net. #NEvSKC
That was an atrocity by Opara. #NEvSKC
- YES! Juan deserved that so bad. #NERevs
GOAL! Kamara makes it 3-1 on a no-doubter in the 83' #NERevs- 83'3 - 1FGOAL: Juan AgudeloGoals this Season: 6
- 82' #NERevs 2 SKC 1 Some great interplay between @Krowe210 and @LeeNguyen24 ends with Rowe shooting from a tight angle. Melia saves.

- 82'Attempt saved. Kelyn Rowe (New England Revolution) right footed shot from the right side of the box is saved in the bottom right corner. Assisted by Lee Nguyen with a through ball.

The Revs just hit the post for an MLS-best 19th time this season. It worked out pretty well. #NEvSKC https://t.co/z0PRx4j6Bp
Goooooaaaaall!!!! 2-1 Revs Kamara to Nguyen to the post and off the heel of a KC defender! Go #nerevs
Own goal by Ellis on a bouncing ball inside the six-yard box. 2-1 to New England. #NEvSKC
What a goal. Root for Toronto. #NERevs- Btw Barnes was prone because he’d just been tossed to the ground. So. #NERevs
Absolutely hilarious goal #NERevs- GOAL! A little bit of pinball action gives #NERevs the lead via the OG
- GOAL!?!?!?! DARRIUS BARNES?!?!?! #NEREVS
- Did that go post->prone Barnes->goal??? #NERevs oh no it’s an own goal!!! Hahahah
LEE NGYUEN WITH THE ASSIST 😂😂😂😂 #niceowngoal #NERevs
Own goal, but who cares?! Not me. #NERevs
- It'll go down as an own goal for Kevin Ellis after @LeeNguyen24's rocket hit the post and rebounded off the SKC defender. #NERevs

- 75'2 - 1MGOAL: Kevin Ellis (OG)
- 74'Corner, New England Revolution. Conceded by Saad Abdul-Salaam.
Opara has been limping for a while. How out of favor is Besler that he's not yet on the field? #NEvSKC
@jimmymedranda playing good defense tonight...and even taking corner kicks!! #SKC 👏👏👏🔥
Man Fagundez' sophomore slump is going a couple years too long. Love the kid but i just don't know how he has kept his starting spot #NERevs- As always, #NoShortCorners and that's two back post crosses from Rowe that have basically landed in The Fort this half. #NERevs #NEvSKC
- 71'Attempt missed. Juan Agudelo (New England Revolution) header from the centre of the box misses to the left. Assisted by Chris Tierney with a cross following a corner.
- 71'Corner, New England Revolution. Conceded by Jimmy Medranda.
With DC up over TFC, #NERevs really need to win this one. Season is on the line in these last 25 minutes.- 67'Corner, New England Revolution. Conceded by Ike Opara.
- 66' #NERevs 1 SKC 1 25,280 on hand at @GilletteStadium in the wind and rain. 👏
- Jaysus...please don't break Ike!! #SKC
One game I'd love to see @2Fast2Farrell get that close to the goal and put the ball in the net!! #nerevs- 25280 announced crowd for #NEvSKC
- Man, I love Farrell. #NERevs

DOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM #skcvne #SportingKC
CHANCE: Lee Nguyen's great ball nearly puts Kamara through on goal
- Meanwhile, @b_feilhaber22 tallies his 12th assist of the season and his 8th in the last 9 games. 1-1 #NEvSKC
I was just about to say that #SportingKC hasn't been very productive from corners. I can't complain. #NEvSKC- And just like that, tied at 1-1 off a Benny corner kick with Dom knocking it in with his...knee? Not prettiest goal but that's okay. #NEvSKC
Hell yeah! The early equalizer! #SKC!
49' GOOOOOAAAAALL!!! DWYER HITS HIT HOME FROM THE DOORSTEP AND WE ARE BACK LEVEL! 1-1 #NEvSKC- Could feel that coming #NERevs
GOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLLL!!!!! DOM DWYER!! ⚽️ #SportingKC #NEvSKC
GOAL!!!! #SportingKC- 50'Attempt missed. Paulo Nagamura (Sporting Kansas City) header from the centre of the box misses to the left. Assisted by Dominic Dwyer with a cross.
A goal off a corner? No way. #SKC
We knee'ded that. #SportingKC- Sporting 1 1 Revs #nerevs
It wasn't pretty, this match hasn't been, but who cares. #NEvSKC
Level! Dom! #NEvSKC- GOAL! Dwyer levels it off a corner kick to make it 1-1 in the 49' #NEvSKC
DOM DWYER! #SKC
DOM WITH A GOAL!!! #SportingKC #NEvSKC
Dom Dwyer!!! #Goallllll #SKC- GOAL - Sporting Kansas City pulls level in the 49th minute as Dom Dwyer bundles home from close range after a corner kick. #NERevs

- One halftime sub for @SportingKC as Nuno Coelho makes way for @gzusi. This is Graham's first game back since Aug. 27. 1-0 #NEvSKC

- 45'+2'First Half ends, New England Revolution 1, Sporting Kansas City 0.
- 45'+1'Foul by Benny Feilhaber (Sporting Kansas City).
- 45'+1'Diego Fagundez (New England Revolution) wins a free kick in the defensive half.
- 352 isn't working. Tons of spacing problems at the back, Medranda especially isolated, + Dom/JP had to create all their own chances. #NEvSKC
- 45'+1'Attempt blocked. Dominic Dwyer (Sporting Kansas City) left footed shot from the centre of the box is blocked.
Just missing that finishing. Also Medranda has been excellent for KC. #NEvSKC- Dom Dwyer is so good at soccer #NERevs
CHANCE: Dom Dwyer with multiple chances from close range- 45'Attempt missed. Diego Fagundez (New England Revolution) right footed shot from the left side of the box misses to the right. Assisted by Juan Agudelo.
- I haven't seen NE much this season, but where has this team been? Their transition to attack has been gorgeous, defending solid. #NEvSKC
Dwyer botched that opportunity pretty bad. Should have shot quickly, instead decided to dribble around in the box until he loses it. #NEvSKC
SHOT: Diego Fagundez's strike flashes high above the far post- 45' #NERevs 1 SKC 0 Wow. HUGE chance for the visitors on the stroke of halftime but they can't capitalize on a mad scramble in the box.
- 43'Kelyn Rowe (New England Revolution) wins a free kick in the defensive half.
- 43'Foul by Jimmy Medranda (Sporting Kansas City).
Zusi/Davis for Ellis changes this flat defensive line. Pros of this particular 3-5-2 seem outweighed by its vulnerability. #NEvSKC
When my friends tell me that they need me... I am always 100% there... Which is why I'm standing in the rain right now #NERevs- 42'Corner, Sporting Kansas City. Conceded by London Woodberry.
- 38'Corner, Sporting Kansas City. Conceded by Darrius Barnes.
- 38'Attempt blocked. Dominic Dwyer (Sporting Kansas City) left footed shot from the centre of the box is blocked. Assisted by Soni Mustivar.
- 37'Attempt missed. Dominic Dwyer (Sporting Kansas City) header from the centre of the box misses to the right. Assisted by Jimmy Medranda with a cross.
@keikamara looks like he's on an entirely different page from the rest of the #NERevs. Started in warmups and it's carrying on to the game.- 36'Offside, New England Revolution. Diego Fagundez tries a through ball, but Lee Nguyen is caught offside.
- Too many touches!! Nguyen #NERevs
- LEE. COME ON. Stop taking all those extra touches on the layoff in the box. #NERevs
- I think I've got it finally. SKC is in a 5-3-2 with Coelho as a CB and Benny in the midfield. If so Rubio can't get on soon enough. #NEvSKC
- 27'Attempt missed. Kelyn Rowe (New England Revolution) right footed shot from outside the box misses to the right.
- 26'Stoppage over. They are ready to continue.
- 25'Stoppage in match Kevin Ellis (Sporting Kansas City) because of an injury.
- 24'Corner, Sporting Kansas City. Conceded by Chris Tierney.
- 23'Corner, Sporting Kansas City. Conceded by Kei Kamara.
- Nice defensive touch from Tierney. His return to form has been a big part of the #NERevs late season surge as well.
Do we even have any center backs on the field? It looks like random guys running back to try and play emergency defense #NEvSKC- 23'Foul by Juan Agudelo (New England Revolution).
- 23'Benny Feilhaber (Sporting Kansas City) wins a free kick on the right wing.
- 21'Corner, Sporting Kansas City. Conceded by London Woodberry.
- 20'Attempt missed. Diego Fagundez (New England Revolution) right footed shot from outside the box is too high. Assisted by Andrew Farrell.
- 20'Attempt saved. Lee Nguyen (New England Revolution) right footed shot from outside the box is saved in the top left corner. Assisted by Chris Tierney.
- 19'Corner, New England Revolution. Conceded by Tim Melia.
- 19'Attempt saved. Kelyn Rowe (New England Revolution) right footed shot from the centre of the box is saved in the centre of the goal. Assisted by Kei Kamara.
SAVE: Tim Melia comes out and makes a key deflection save- 18'Attempt missed. Juan Agudelo (New England Revolution) right footed shot from the right side of the six yard box misses to the right. Assisted by Kelyn Rowe following a set piece situation.
- Melia just saved Sporting's bacon there. By all rights it should be 2-0 right now. #SportingKC defense being torn to ribbons. #NEvSKC
- Melia negates another chance for New England, which is killing #SportingKC on the counter right now.
- TIMMAAAYY!! #SKC
- 17'Hand ball by Ike Opara (Sporting Kansas City).
- 17'D#3Ike Opara (Sporting Kansas City) is shown the yellow card.
- How is that a yellow? #damnitTeal #SKC
Loving this team! #NERevs #NERevsGame
@keikamara is even trying to help us then gets a whistle in the ear. Come back to KC #SportingKC #heartshapedhands
SKC defense is completely broken today. #NEvSKC- 15'Juan Agudelo (New England Revolution) wins a free kick on the left wing.
- 15'Foul by Kevin Ellis (Sporting Kansas City).
This is not going to end well........ #SportingKC- 14'Attempt blocked. Ike Opara (Sporting Kansas City) left footed shot from the centre of the box is blocked. Assisted by Jimmy Medranda with a cross.
- 13'Corner, Sporting Kansas City. Conceded by Brad Knighton.
- Terrible pass from Diego in that spot. #NERevs
- 12'Jacob Peterson (Sporting Kansas City) wins a free kick in the attacking half.
- 12'Foul by London Woodberry (New England Revolution).
Love the effort from Medranda #SportingKC- I love London Woodberry, dude just goes after it. Same thing I love about Watson #NERevs
- 11'Corner, New England Revolution. Conceded by Kevin Ellis.
- 10' #NERevs 1 SKC 0 The Fort in full voice despite swirling winds and cold rain. That's dedication. An early goal probably helps, too.
So Besler can play for US but can't start for #skc ?
- 6'Attempt blocked. Kei Kamara (New England Revolution) right footed shot from the right side of the box is blocked. Assisted by Juan Agudelo.
- Kamara's 4th-minute goal is the earliest conceded by #SportingKC this season. 1-0 #NEvSKC
- Nice goal @keikamara. Very nice. #NEvSKC
- No offside on the Revs goal. Kei was on by about a foot or so. Just lousy marking. #NEvSKC
- 5'Foul by Lee Nguyen (New England Revolution).
- 5'Kevin Ellis (Sporting Kansas City) wins a free kick in the defensive half.
Wooooohooooo Kei! #NERevs
Big goal #NERevs
Kei Kamara has scored. #SportingKC #NEvSKC
- GOAL! Kamara puts #NERevs up early on a clinical finish inside the area in the 4'.
- 4'1 - 0F#16GOAL: Kei KamaraGoals this Season: 6
Kei Kamara gets an early goal against Sporting KC in the 4th minute. 1-0 Revolution #NEvSKC
Kamara onside #NEvSKC- If Knighton doesn't stay with the #NERevs , some team is gonna have to pay him some pretty decent coin
View photo⚽ Rainy day at @GilletteStadium? Time for @NERevolution vs @SportingKC! Go #NERevs! ⚽ https://t.co/W9UHGXP2Sq https://t.co/wPOEBFA1UL
- Calm, low finish from @keikamara after he was played through by @JuanAgudelo. Huge, huge early goal for the hosts. #NERevs
- Cool finish by Kai Kamara #NERevs up 1-0 just 4' into game. Nice touch and ball by Agudelo to open up the breakaway
- I said it once and I'll say it again: this season hinges on Agudelo #NERevs
- Kei strikes first. 0-1 #NEvSKC

GOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLL!!!!!! #NEREVS @NERevolution ⚽💪- Really good run by Agudelo, and good composed finish by Kamara #NERevs
Okay, #NERevs!- That goal was all Agudelo. Great start! #NERevs
- First Half begins.
- Lineups are announced and players are warming up.
- Probably a sweet spot for Rowe behind Feilhaber & in front of Medranda from which service gets over Opara & to Kamara-Ellis matchup #NEvSKC
- The postseason beckons. #TORvDC #NEvSKC #CLBvCHI Three pivotal matches start now on MLS LIVE:… https://t.co/PXbQkG1hoY
- #SportingKC has conceded 19 road goals this season, the fewest in @MLS. How's a clean sheet sound tonight? 😃 #NEvSKC
Last chance saloon for #NERevs tonight. Likely need nine points to reach postseason. Feasible with win tonight given sked (at CHI, v. MTL).
- Big match on a dismal night, and the revs have a patchwork back four. #NERevs
- View photoThe playoff race has reached a fever pitch. Here's a current look at the West heading into tonight's action. #NEvSKC https://t.co/OHq97EwoC0
- In three regular season appearances against #SportingKC, Revs goalkeeper Brad Knighton is 0-2-1 with a 3.00 goals against average. #NEvSKC
gawd, with that back line, #nerevs are gonna have to win this one 5-4. but they basically have to win.
