Kei Kamara netted his second goal of the winter while rookie Brian Wright tallied late as the Revolution earned a 2-0 preseason win over the New York Red Bulls on Friday in Casa Grande, Ariz.<\/p>\n

Kamara, who scored in Tuesday’s draw to Minnesota, gave New England the lead in the 25th minute. The goal came when Kamara elevated to meet a Lee Nguyen corner kick and buried it from close range. Wright put the match out of reach in the 88th minute when he converted a cross from Teal Bunbury.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt like we had good performances in both halves,” Revolution coach Jay Heaps told the media after the match. “Some things were better in the first half, some things were better in the second half, but overall, really pleased with the individual performances.”<\/p>\n

With the victory, the Revolution improved to 1-0-1 on the preseason. <\/p>\n
