Khano Smith came on in the 70th minute during the New England Revolution match against the San Jose Earthquakes hat wasn’t short on action, but it was short on goals. Although both teams were dangerous in the attacking third, neither club found a way to make the decisive breakthrough and the result was a 0-0 draw in front of 13,611 fans at Gillette Stadium.
Revolution coach Steve Nicol said, “First and foremost, we’ve been solid. We’re happy with a clean sheet. I think the only thing that’s letting us down is that quality in the final third. We had numerous occasions where we might have played a better pass, or had a better finish … it probably took us about 10 minutes to get settled, after that, we ran the game. But just that little bit of quality in the final third let us down. Preston (Burpo) made a good save second half, though. But I think overall we deserved to win the game. We were disciplined and we defended pretty well, but just that quality was missing in the final third”.
