video: Revolution Cruise Past Rochester 3-0 in Open Cup Game in Providence
Thursday, June 15, 2017
The New England Revolution rolled past the Rochester Rhinos 3-0 in the fourth round of the U.S. Open Cup on Wednesday night at Providence College's Chapey Field at Anderson Stadium.
"This was a great venue. I thought it was actually extremely tight, I love the way that the crowd was. You felt like they were right on top of us. And I think we put on a pretty good — it was a good atmosphere — and we put on a good show in that atmosphere. It’s an awesome venue as well. Loved the field, loved the sideline locker rooms. It was a really cool place," said Revolution head coach Jay Heaps after the match.
The Revs were in Providence for the first time since the 2014 Open Cup. That year, they played at Brown University against the Rhinos, a game the Revs won 2-1.

"Obviously, I'm happy for the guys. We came about it the right way. The guys approached it the right way, set up a good team, and obviously I thought it was back and forth. And obviously, the game changed when the red card came, but I thought our guys handled the situation well and capitalized on it," said Heaps.

Revolution Cruise Past Rhinos
The Revolution got on the board in the first half when forward Teal Bunbury was awarded a penalty kick after being taken down in the box. On the kick, Bunbury fired it to the bottom right corner, beating Rhinos goalkeeper Tomas Gomez to give the Revolution a 1-0 lead.
"I think Teal [Bunbury] just keeps going. For me, and the entire team, I think Teal is right on the cusp and continues to push and is someone that we need as we continue through this stretch," said Heaps.
The Revs would take that 1-0 lead into the half.
Just a few minutes into the second half, the Revolution extended their lead on a goal by Donnie Smith, who headed home a pass off the foot of Daigo Kobayashi to put the Revolution up 2-0 at the 50th-minute mark. The goal was Smith's first of his professional career.
Just one minute later, New England's Zachary Herivaux found the back of the net off of a rebound in the to give the Revolution a 3-0 nothing lead.
Fagundez Makes History
Midfielder Diego Fagundez became the Revolution's all-time leader in U.S. Open Cup appearances with 13 when he entered the match in the second half.
Fagundez passed current Revolution coach Jay Heaps, Andy Dorman, and defender Chris Tierney, who all have 12 Open Cup appearances.
Tierney did not play in Wednesday night's game.
