FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution drew 1-1 with Toronto FC on Saturday night at Gillette Stadium, extending their unbeaten streak to nine games. In a game that featured five current U.S. National Team players, two of them found the net with Juan Agudelo putting the Revs ahead in the first half before TFC captain Michael Bradley equalized early in the second half as the two sides shared the points.

Both sides rattled the woodwork in the early stages, with Revs defender Jose Goncalves, making his first start since April 11, hitting the post with a volley in the third minute and Toronto FC’s Italian playmaker Sebastian Giovinco getting in behind the New England defense only to strike the outside of the post three minutes later.

Charlie Davies and Agudelo both went close midway through the first half before Agudelo put the Revs ahead in the 32^nd minute. London Woodberry found space on the right and whipped in a cross that Agudelo headed low into the back of the net for his third goal of the season, giving the Revs a 1-0 lead.

Giovinco found space for another attempt at goal before the half was up, but Bobby Shuttleworth was able to palm away his powerful effort from the edge of the area in the 42^nd minute.

Toronto FC came out strong to start the second half and Bradley equalized in the 53^rd minute. After receiving a pass from Giovinco, Bradley ran at the Revolution defense, breaking through several challenges before firing a low shot into the side-netting to tie the score at 1-1.

Toronto FC thought they had pulled ahead in the 55^th minute, when Luke Moore fired in the rebound after Bradley’s low strike was saved by Shuttleworth, but the forward was correctly called back for offside.

The Revs pushed hard for a winning goal in the final 10 minutes with Andy Dorman, Diego Fagundez and Lee Nguyen all having chances, but were unable to beat TFC goalkeeper Chris Konopka, who finished the game with eight saves. The Revs are now unbeaten in a club record 14 straight home games and in their last nine games this season, going 5-0-4 in that time to move to second place in the Eastern Conference.
