The two most popular teams at MLS conclude this weekend's match with Vancouver Whitecaps hosting the New England Revolution on Sunday night.
Both Revolution (6-5-5, 23 points) and Whitecaps (6-8-2, 20 points) have overcome the slow start of the season. Each of them has scored 16 points in the last eight games, the second highest ranking in the league in that span.
New England has been undefeated in the last eight times (4-0-4), despite having a revolving door in front of it.
Striker Adam Buksa moved to RC Lens in France earlier this month after winger Tajon Buchanan left for Club Brugge in Belgium last winter.
However, the winners of the active Supporters' Shield are just doing their best.
"I scored two goals in every game I played (almost) without Adam," said the coach of Rev. Bruce Arena. "I'm not happy about that (transfer). I still want Adam to be here, but our team is scoring goals in different ways and hopefully Other players will regain that slack. "
New England visited Minnesota last weekend to win 2-1 and Dylan Bolero and Gustabobow scored goals in the second half. The current league MVP, Carles Gil, assisted.
"Gustavo plays a big brother-like role with Dylan, which is great," said the arena. "I think each game has improved. Dylan was really positive because he responded very well to the move here and responded to MLS, our team and everything else."
Whitecaps have been 5-2-1 in the last eight years, including a 2-0 victory in Dallas last weekend, with Lucas Cavalini and Daver Kaised scoring the first half of the goal. I did. Caicedo scored in the 2nd minute and Caicedo scored in the 44th minute.
"It was huge," Whitecaps coach Vanni Saltini said of the victory. "They really stepped up from an approach perspective and a concentration perspective. The proof is that they scored 90 seconds later. And we focused on the whole game.
"They were pushing us, but we defended very well, so it's a clear victory over a very good team. Oh yeah, top (performance). Over there. What more to ask for Can you? "
