A 5-2 win for the New England Revolution on Saturday saw an offensive explosion from its strikers.

The Revolution struggled in their opening two matches to produce goals and it hurt them last weekend when they fell to FC Dallas after taking an early lead on a spot kick. On Saturday it was a different story, as the Revolution scored four first-half goals and never looked back.

Lee Nguyen, Kei Kamara and Juan Agudelo seemed to be just waiting for the breakout match that truly showed the potential of the Revolution attack. The trio worked well up top to punish the Minnesota defense for allowing them the space to operate.

Here’s a perfect example as Diego Fagundez gives Agudelo the ball in space and allows him to cut inside for the finish. Agudelo hurt the Minnesota defense on multiple occasions and made the most of the opportunities presented to him.

This was the first brace for Agudelo as a member of the Revolution. His last brace came in 2013 as a member of Chivas USA.

The accuracy was there as well on Saturday, with five of the six shots on goal found the back of the net, granted there were two spot kicks, but the efficiency was there when the opportunity presented itself.

Fagundez had two assists on the afternoon and did well to feed the forwards on the attack. More of this will need to be seen from the Uruguayan as the season progresses. The Revolution forwards will need help from the midfield in order to fully reach their potential.

With the next match-up coming against the Portland Timbers, the chance for goals will be there again, the Timbers have allowed five goals in their last two matches. If the Revolution can open up the defense, then they have a chance to help out with any faults by their own defense, who did not have the best outing against Minnesota.
