But Kei Kamara&#8217;s 87th minute goal proved the difference as the hosts held on for the victory.<\/p>\n<p>With the result, the Revolution&#8217;s ledger goes to 11-14-5 (38 points) while Toronto&#8217;s mark went to 18-5-8 (62 points).<\/p>\n<p>Toronto was without Sebastian Giovinco and Jozy Altidore, who both missed the match due to injuries. But that didn&#8217;t stop the Reds from testing the Revolution early.<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan Osario and Tosaint Ricketts both exploited breaches early, and in the 23rd minute, Ricketts appeared to score the breakthrough. But the goal was nullified by the AR&#8217;s flag.<\/p>\n<p>In the 35th minute, Bunbury pounced on a lazy back pass and fired a shot on goal that was denied by Clint Irwin, who immediately stopped another shot seconds later from Gershon Koffie.<\/p>\n<p>Diego Fagundez authored a pair of promising chances during initial stages of the second half, his best arriving in the 57th minute when he beat his defender and drilled a low shot that veered wide of the far post.<\/p>\n<p>Nguyen&#8217;s 65th minute introduction pointed the Revolution offense in the right direction, and in the waning stages, he got on the end of a Chris Tierney cross to score the breakthrough.<\/p>\n<p>But Nguyen&#8217;s goal didn&#8217;t stand for long. Two minutes later, Hasler knocked through a Michael Bradley ball to make it a level match.<\/p>\n<p>Just when it seemed the match was going to end tied at one apiece, Kamara glanced a short cross from Nguyen into the back of the net in the 87th minute.<\/p>\n<p>The Revolution return to action on Wednesday at Orlando City. Kickoff is 7:30pm. In their previous encounter, the Revolution handed the Lions a 4-0 loss at Gillette Stadium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kei Kamara&#8217;s late goal gave the Revs a 2-1 win over Toronto.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":46820,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[3],"tags":[891,888,892,71],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nesoccertoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Kamara-11.png?fit=600%2C415&ssl=1","jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46819"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=46819"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46819\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":46822,"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46819\/revisions\/46822"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/46820"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=46819"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=46819"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=46819"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
