James Sands, Matt Freese Spark NYCFC to 1-1 Draw with Revolution
Matt Freese stopped Carles Gil’s penalty and James Sands equalized in stoppage time for NYCFC’s fifth draw in eight road matches.
On Sunday, Defender James Sands helped NYCFC secure a 1-1 draw against the New England Revolution, making a crucial clearance before scoring in stoppage time.
Goalkeeper Matt Freese kept the scoreline level early by stopping a penalty kick from Carles Gil in the 27th minute, his first penalty save of the season.
The penalty resulted from a foul by Sands on Peyton Miller; Sands' goal, assisted by Talles Magno and Nicol, was his second in 29 appearances with the club.
Holding a 10-7-4 record, the Revolution saw Matt Turner stop four shots on goal, while NYCFC now stands 7-8-6 after going 0-2-2 in its last four matches.
NYCFC travels to face Toronto on Saturday, while the New England Revolution will remain on the road until later in September.
