The Revolution schedule for the rest of the season opened up as they were unable to protect a lead three separate times and lost, 4-3, to Orlando City in the US Open Cup round of 16 contest in Pawtucket, R.I., on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
The loss ends a six-game unbeaten across all competitions (4-0-2) in a busy April that featured seven games.<\/p>\n
Zakaria Taifi had a step on his defender to finish off a low cross from Tyrese Spicer two minutes into stoppage time to give Orlando City its first lead of the game.<\/p>\n
New England conceded the tying goal in stoppage time in its previous US Open Cup game before advancing on penalty kicks.<\/p>\n
The Revolution sat their regulars coming off Saturday\u2019s 1-1 tie at Inter Miami, while Orlando made just four changes from a 3-2 loss at D.C. United.<\/p>\n
Groton native Malcolm Fry opened the scoring for New England in the 21st minute, receiving a pass from Eric Klein and scoring from a tight angle along the left endline. Orlando countered 10 minutes later off a header into the top right corner from Teodoro da Silva Nogueira.<\/p>\n
Andrew Farrell put the Revolution back in front in the 37th with his first goal since August 2018. Griffin Dorsey provided an answer for Orlando just two minutes later, ripping a shot past Revolution goalkeeper Donovan Parisian into the top right corner after a nice give-and-go with Justin Ellis after a cross from Iv\u00e1n Angulo.<\/p>\n
New England nearly reclaimed the lead before halftime, but Tanner Beason hit the post.<\/p>\n
Marcos Zambrano scored his first goal with the Revolution in the 58th minute, giving New England a 3-2 lead. But Orlando tied it for a third time when Parisian was unable to cleanly handle a Spicer cross from the left side, the ball spilling straight into the path of Ellis.<\/p>\n
The Revolution resume the regular season with a four-game homestand Saturday night, hosting Charlotte.<\/p>\n
