Saturday afternoon\u2019s nationally televised match-up between the New England Revolution and Chicago Fire was quite the roller coaster with the Fire taking the early lead through Quincy Amarikwa only to give it up 15 minutes later through a Lee Nguyen penalty kick. New England then was handed a man advantage for nearly the final 20 minutes, but the Fire were still the more dangerous team and had a chance to win the game with a stoppage time penalty kick that was denied by a Bobby Shuttleworth save.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the key stats from Saturday\u2019s crazy game:<\/p>\n

0 \u2013 Outside of the penalty kick, New England failed to turn a single set piece into a shot. Chicago managed six shots off their set pieces.<\/p>\n

1 \u2013 The Revolution managed just one shot in the entire first half: Lee Nguyen\u2019s penalty kick goal.<\/p>\n

2 \u2013 Referee Sorin Stoica handed out two penalty kicks and two red cards \u2013 one of each to the Fire and the Revolution. Nguyen converted his penalty for New England, while Juan Luis Anangon\u00f3 saw his saved, forcing the Fire to settle for a draw.<\/p>\n

3 \u2013 Nguyen was fouled three times, leading the Revolution in that category. The Fire\u2019s Bakary Soumar\u00e9 and Patrick Nyarko were each fouled four times to lead the game.<\/p>\n

4 \u2013 Despite playing just the second half, Chris Tierney led the Revolution with four crosses \u2013 accounting for 40% of the team\u2019s total of 10. New England failed to connect on a single cross. The Fire attempted 22 crosses, finding teammates with six of them.<\/p>\n

5 \u2013 The Revolution blocked five shots in the match, let by Andrew Farrell with two. Nguyen, A.J. Soares, and Kevin Alston each blocked one shot.<\/p>\n

5 \u2013 Teal Bunbury led the game with five fouls committed. Soumar\u00e9 and Former Revolution midfielder and current Fire captain Jeff Larentowicz each committed four.<\/p>\n

5- Jhon Kennedy Hurtado played a key role in disrupting the Revolution attack with a game leading five interceptions.<\/p>\n

6 \u2013 Revolution goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth made six saves to help his team head home with a point. His double save, first on Anangon\u00f3\u2019s penalty kick and then on Larentowicz\u2019s follow-up was perhaps the play of the game.<\/p>\n

6 \u2013 Larentowicz led the game with six tackles. \u00a0Soares was second overall with three.<\/p>\n

7 \u2013 The Fire had seven corner kicks \u2013 five more than New England \u2013 but neither team could convert on any of them.<\/p>\n

17 \u2013 The Fire finished the match with 17 shots, compared to just four for the Revolution.<\/p>\n

22 \u2013 New England was called for 22 fouls in the match, compared to just 13 for Chicago.<\/p>\n

35% – The Revolution had less than 35% possession in the first half against the Fire, but would control enough of the possession in the second half \u2013 particularly when holding a man advantage \u2013 to raise that number to 48.1% by the end of the match.<\/p>\n

62% – The Revolution won 62% of the aerial duels in the match.<\/p>\n

63% – Bunbury and Diego Fagundez each completed just 63% of their passes \u2013 the lowest of any starting field players in the match.<\/p>\n

70 \u2013 Nguyen led the Revolution with 70 touches. Only Soumar\u00e9 (73) had more touches in the match.<\/p>\n

91% – Andy Dorman completed 91% of his passes, the most of any starting player in the game.<\/p>\n
