Facing its toughest preseason test yet, the New England Revolution drew LAFC 2-2 on Saturday afternoon in the club's third of five preseason games in California.
The closed-doors match was LAFC’s first external test since competing in the 2020 Concacaf Champions League final last December against Liga MX side Tigres UANL, and Bob Bradley’s team showed its quality from the get-go.
If it weren’t for some head-turning saves from Revolution goalkeeper Matt Turner, LAFC could have entered halftime up a goal or two.
