MATCHUPS:
Juan Agudelo vs. Jelle Van Damme
Van Damme has quietly become one of the standout central defenders in MLS, but he'll face a major test in the talented Agudelo. Remember, Van Damme is on yellow card warning and will be suspended one match after his next caution.
Giovani dos Santos vs. Jose Goncalves
The 26-year-old Mexican international is in the best form of his Major League Soccer career with four goals in his last three matches, and he'll look to add more against New England. Standing in dos Santos' way will be the former MLS Defender of the Year.
Diego Fagundez vs. A.J. DeLaGarza
DeLaGarza will look to put the breaks on Fagundez, who currently leads the Revolution in scoring with three goals and two assists this season. If Fagundez can threaten the Galaxy defense then the Revolution may be able to cause Los Angeles problems.
WHAT THEY SAID:
“I’ve just been like dancing in the rain. Such a great feeling. We can play better than we’ve played.”
