Scott Caldwell scored in the Revs tie

The New England Revolution and Portland Timbers played to a 1-1 draw on Saturday night at Gillette Stadium.

“To be honest with you, I thought we were in control. It was defending a set piece and there’s not a lot much more to say about it. They didn’t have a lot of chances to score in the game. Another goalkeeping mistake and another mistake on a marking assignment. Simple,” said Revolution head coach Brad Friedel after the game.

The draw moves the Revs to 7-10-9 on the season, while Portland moves to 11-7-8 overall.

Revs Tie Portland

New England got on the board first when midfield Scott Caldwell gave the Revolution a 1-0 lead in the 58th minute.

The goal was his first since May 13, 2017, when he scored in a 4-0 win against Real Salt Lake.

However, Portland would tie the game in the 70th minute when Lawrence Olum found the back of the net.

Next up

The Revs return to action on Wednesday, September 5 when they face New York City FC at Yankee Stadium.

Game time is set for 7 p.m.
