Twellman’s early goal enough to secure Dallas defeat
Before the game at Pizza Hut Park had even settled into a rhythm, the Revolution’s Taylor Twellman found the back of the net with a superb first-time strike of a ball from Steve Ralston. Although Dallas had the bulk of the possession throughout the game and created several chances, they were never able to find the goal and New England went home with all three points. There were bright spots for the Hoops such as the chances created by Dominic Oduro, but two goalless home games in a row could be pointing to problems up front.
