CARSON, California (Ticker) -- Kenny Mansally and Taylor Twellman scored goals to lift the New England Revolution to a 2-1 victory over Chivas USA.
New England's two goals matched its offensive output of the previous four games, in which it went 1-2-1, including a 3-0 drubbing at home to the Chicago Fire last weekend.
Mansally got the Revolution (4-3-1) on the board in the 18th minute and Twellman, seeing his first action of the season, doubled the margin in the 59th minute.
Justin Braun scored in the 93rd minute to avert a shutout for Chivas, (1-4-2), which ran its winless streak to five matches.
Twellman, the third-leading scorer in MLS with 16 goals last season, has been sidelined since undergoing knee surgery on April 2. He has registered 91 goals in his previous six seasons.
Midfielder Steve Ralston assisted on the tally by Twellman. Ralston returned to action last week for the first time since he was injured in the team's season opener.
New England goalkeeper Matt Reis did not have to make a save. Chivas' only official shot was Braun's goal.
Brad Guzan made three saves for Chivas, which lost at home to the Revolution for the first time in four career meetings.
It is the first time the visiting team has won in the series, which New England leads, 3-2-2.
No one has shouted yet.
Be the first!
Be the first!
