MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – The New England Revolution (7-6-7, 28 pts.) fell to Minnesota United FC (8-11-1, 25 pts.), 2-1, at TCF Bank Stadium on Wednesday evening. After conceding a pair of first-half goals to Minnesota's Christian Ramirez in the fifth minute and Darwin Quintero in first-half stoppage time, the Revolution couldn't overcome the deficit despite a penalty kick conversion from Diego Fagundez in the 52^nd minute.

Fagundez's goal was seventh of the 2018 campaign, matching his second-highest total in a single season for his career. The midfielder also scored seven times in 2017, and set his career high of 13 in 2013. With Fagundez, Teal Bunbury, and Cristian Penilla all above the seven-goal mark, New England joins New York City FC as the only two MLS clubs with three players with at least seven tallies this season.

With five saves in tonight's match, goalkeeper Matt Turner now owns 67 stops on the season, which moves him into a tie with LAFC's Tyler Miller and Minnesota's Bobby Shuttleworth for fourth most in MLS.

New England returns to action on Saturday, July 21, when the club closes its two-match week against the New York Red Bulls at Red Bull Arena. The match kicks off at 7:00 p.m. ET on NBC Sports Boston, with Brad Feldman, Paul Mariner, and Naoko Funayama on the call.
