Revolution Come Back to Win

D.C. United's José Guillermo Ortiz started the scoring in the seventh minute just after Revolution forward Teal Bunbury hit the post on a shot.

New England’s Diego Fagundez tied the game just before the half with the first goal of his U.S. Open Cup career.

Fagundez took a free kick from just beyond the18-yard box an put it past the reach of D.C. United goalkeeper Travis Worra.

In the second half, forward Brian Wright gave the Revolution the lead with his first professional goal. Wright fired a shot from the left side of the penalty area into the back of the net.
