Comcast Sports Net New England will televise the match, while The Sports Hub 98.5 HD2 will carry the game over the radio airwaves.

Agudelo, who arrived in a trade from Chivas USA on May 7, flourished in his Revolution debut to point the club towards a convincing road victory at BBVA Compass Stadium. “It was awesome, getting to know the guys, playing with the guys,” Agudelo told the media after Saturday’s game.]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/boston/new-england-revolution/post/_/id/2035/agudelo-impresses-in-first-revs-game Mon, 20 May 2013 15:24:14 EDT 2035 For the second straight week, Diego Fagundez scored the opening goal, but this time it proved to be the game-winner as the New England Revolution staked a surprising 2-0 win over the second-place Houston Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium on Saturday night. Fagundez, who scored last week vs. New York, struck in the 51st minute while Revolution goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth stopped a trio of shots to lead the guests to their second road win of the season.]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/boston/new-england-revolution/post/_/id/2033/revolution-fagundez-surprise-dynamo Sat, 18 May 2013 23:32:47 EDT 2033 FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- In a sense, the Revolution couldn’t have picked a better time than this weekend to go down to Houston to face the Dynamo. Last week, the Dynamo saw their historic unbeaten run at home come to a crashing halt at 36 straight after they fell 1-0 to Sporting Kansas City at BBVA Compass Stadium. It marked the first home loss for the defending conference champions since June 2011. But even though the Dynamo (6-3-2, 20 points) are by no means a team on the skids, the possibility exists that the fallout from the surprising loss could carry over into Saturday’s contest against the Revolution.]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/boston/new-england-revolution/post/_/id/2031/revs-head-to-houston-to-face-dynamo Fri, 17 May 2013 16:09:32 EDT 2031 FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Juan Agudelo was well aware of the situation in New England when the Revolution acquired him from Chivas USA last week. Prior to the deal, the Revolution had only scored four goals in their first eight games, and were in dire need of an offensive catalyst to point the attack in the right direction. But even though the club parted with an undisclosed amount of allocation cash for his services (a sort of intra-league transfer, if you will), the 20-year-old Agudelo doesn’t feel that the burden of reviving the offense falls entirely on his shoulders.]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/boston/new-england-revolution/post/_/id/2027/agudelo-hopefully-close-to-playing Thu, 16 May 2013 09:26:29 EDT 2027 FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- One way in which Revolution head coach Jay Heaps measures his club's game-day focus is how well they acquit themselves in the so-called "fives" -- that is, the first and last five minutes of each half, and the first five minutes after they score. On Saturday, the Revolution were up to the challenge in the opening and closing moments of each frame, but surrendered a Lloyd Sam goal a minute after Diego Fagundez scored the opening strike in Saturday's 1-1 draw against the first-place New York Red Bulls.]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/boston/new-england-revolution/post/_/id/2022/revs-fail-to-protect-short-lived-lead Sat, 11 May 2013 23:48:37 EDT 2022 FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Diego Fagundez netted his second goal of the season, but Lloyd Sam pulled one back a minute later as the New England Revolution and New York Red Bulls battled to a 1-1 draw at Gillette Stadium on Saturday. Fagundez scored in the 54th minute to give the Revolution a lead they could enjoy for just a minute, as Sam quickly responded in the 55th minute. Fagundez nearly netted another in the 80th minute, but goalkeeper Luis Robles made a diving save to keep it at 1-1.]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/boston/new-england-revolution/post/_/id/2020/rapid-reaction-revs-1-red-bulls-1 Sat, 11 May 2013 22:25:06 EDT 2020 FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Second-half substitute Olmes Garcia scored in the 89th minute and Real Salt Lake goalie Nick Rimando saved a second-half extra-time penalty kick as Real Salt Lake stunned New England 2-1 at Gillette Stadium. Kyle Beckerman blasted a shot from distance, forcing Revolution goalie Bobby Shuttleworth into a diving save, but the rebound fell to Garcia, who slotted home the game-winning goal. The Revolution had a chance to tie it in extra time after Carlos Salcedo was given his second yellow card (which turned to red) for a foul in the area off a Juan Toja cross, but Saer Sene's low shot was saved by a diving Rimando.]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/boston/new-england-revolution/post/_/id/2016/revs-suffer-shocking-loss-to-real-salt-lake Wed, 8 May 2013 22:56:31 EDT 2016 The Revolution announced Tuesday that they have acquired U.S. National Team forward Juan Agudelo from Chivas USA in exchange for allocation money. Agudelo is expected to join the team later this week. Agudelo, 20, is in his fourth MLS season. In 59 career appearances (33 starts) with New York and Chivas USA, Agudelo has scored 11 goals and added six assists. So far this year, he’s played in six games, scoring two goals and adding one assist.]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/boston/new-england-revolution/post/_/id/2014/revs-acquire-agudelo-from-chivas-usa Wed, 8 May 2013 09:10:50 EDT 2014 The MLS Disciplinary Committee announced Wednesday that it had suspended Revolution defender Chris Tierney one game and fined him an undisclosed amount for a "reckless challenge that endangered the safety of his opponent," Philadelphia Union forward Sebastien LeToux. The play happened in the 90th minute of the Rev's 2-0 win over the Union on April 27. Tierney will serve his suspension Thursday when New England plays at Portland Timbers FC.
