Matt Reis<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: \u00a06.33<\/strong> (Brian 6, Carl 6.5, Sean 6.5)
\nWasn\u2019t tested nearly as much this week with a strong backline in front of him, but was confident on the five saves he made. (Brian) \u2026 His confident distribution led to the first goal and you can\u2019t fault him for getting beat on a penalty by the likes of Davies. (Carl) \u2026 Excellent commanding his box all night, nothing he could do on the penalty. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Didier Domi <\/strong>\u2013 Average Rating: 6.83<\/strong> (Brian 7, Carl 6.5, Sean 7)
\nImpressive performance. Shut down D.C.\u2019s right wing and added life to the attack. (Brian) \u2026 Showed flashes in his debut of the quality that earned him a career in Europe and can be dangerous on the attack. (Carl) \u2026 Excellent debut. Solid in the back and created some promising opportunities going forward. (Sean)<\/p>\n

A.J. Soares<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 6.33<\/strong> (Brian 6.5, Carl 6, Sean 6.5)
\nBetter composed in his second MLS match. Made a few nice tackles and communicated well with Coria. (Brian) \u2026 Another poised, 90-minute performance from the rookie. (Carl) \u2026More composed than his debut. Rarely troubled by the D.C. attack. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Franco Coria<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 6.67<\/strong> (Brian 7.5, Carl 5.5, Sean 7)
\nConfident and composed until he picked up a hamstring injury early in the second half. Impeccable defending. (Brian) \u2026 Looked good in the first half, but it\u2019s hard to grade him much higher on half a game. (Carl) \u2026 Another great performance by the Argentinean, unfortunately cut short by injury. (Sean<\/p>\n

Kevin Alston<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 5.5<\/strong> (Brian 5, Carl 5.5, Sean 6)
\nLooked decent in his first action of the season, but was tentative on the attack. Will get better as his hamstring heals. (Brian) \u2026 Solid for the most part, but not spectacular had occasional trouble with Davies. (Carl) \u2026
\nGood return from injury, but final pass in the attacking was lacking. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Pat Phelan<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: \u00a06.67<\/strong> (Brian 6.5, Carl 7, Sean 6.5)
\nPlayed his heart out in the first half. Good tackles, man-marking exceptional, good off the ball movement. (Brian) \u2026 Phelan earned the penalty for the Revs with his hustle and is always fearlessly heading into the fray.\u00a0 (Carl) \u2026 Solid defensively breaking up plays with some well timed tackles and good attacking foray to earn the penalty kick. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Stephen McCarthy<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 6<\/strong> (Brian 6, Carl 6, Sean 6)
\nAnother quality performance from the rookie center half. Nothing lost at all with him in the lineup. (Brian) \u2026 This early in his career, it\u2019s a credit to him that he played a full game against a decent midfield without any notable negative plays.\u00a0 (Carl) \u2026 The rookie put in another strong performance. Rarely turned the ball over and kept the play moving in the attack. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Shalrie Joseph <\/strong>\u2013 Average Rating: 7.5<\/strong> (Brian 7, Carl 8, Sean 7.5)
\nDistribution top notch, organized well, and kept his teammates on point for much of the match. (Brian) \u2026 Was in the thick of things during all the important moments for the Revs, as always. (Carl) \u2026 With Perovic out even more pressure was on Joseph to lead the attack. The Revs captain delivered, playing several dangerous passes forward, including one for Schilawski\u2019s goal. Well taken Penalty. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Sainey Nyassi <\/strong>\u2013 Average Rating: 5.33<\/strong> (Brian 5, Carl 5.5, Sean 5.5)
\nDid the best he could out of position on the left wing, but his contributions were few and far in between. (Brian) \u2026 Can partner well with Domi, but didn\u2019t use his pace as well as usual. (Carl) \u2026 Struggle a bit defensively early, but made several nice runs forward. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Zak Boggs <\/strong>\u2013 Average Rating: 4.83<\/strong> (Brian 4, Carl 5.5, Sean 5)
\nSeemed somewhat out of sync with his teammates. Took an elbow to his forehead before he was able to get involved in the attack. (Brian) \u2026 Mixed it up well before being forced off the field in the first half. (Carl) \u2026 Didn\u2019t see much of the ball before leaving the game injured. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Zack Schilawski <\/strong>\u2013 Average Rating: 7.33<\/strong> (Brian 7, Carl 7.5, Sean 7.5)
\nLucky not to have gotten a handball call prior to his goal, but overall, spearheaded some dangerous chances and tested the DC defense a number of times. (Brian) \u2026 Lucked out he wasn\u2019t called for handling the ball on his goal, but played well the entire match. His style of play will never overwhelm. (Carl) \u2026 Fantastic performance in a tough role as the Revs lone striker. Kept the attack going with smart runs and passes,\u00a0 scored a nice goal, and was a general nuisance to the D.C. backline. (Sean)<\/p>\n

(sub) Kheli Dube <\/strong>\u2013 Average Rating: 5.17<\/strong> (Brian 5, Carl 5, Sean 5.5)
\nDecent service for a striker moonlighting as a midfielder. Corners were good, but both shots went well wide. (Brian) \u2026 Was active and moving but never made much of an impact. (Carl) \u2026 Some solid combination play with Schilawski cutting inside, but his service is lacking as a right midfielder. (Sean)<\/p>\n

(sub) Ryan Cochrane<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 4.83<\/strong> (Brian 5, Carl 4.5, Sean 5)
\nCame on for Coria, but failed to match his predecessor\u2019s stellar performance. Foul on Joseph Ngewnya led to DC penalty. (Brian) \u2026 A sturdy second half otherwise is offset by his causing the United PK, even if it was a weak call. (Carl) \u2026 Revs defense looked a bit less organized after Coria left, but Cochrane did well with a tough task. Losses points for giving up the penalty kick. (Sean)<\/p>\n

(sub) Ryan Kinne<\/strong> \u2013 Average: N\/R
\nKinne didn\u2019t see enough minutes in his debut to get a rating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
