Lee Nguyens Revenge

Nguyen vs. DC United

On Saturday May 12 the Revolution played the Vancouver Whitecaps for the one and only time this season and they came out on top by a score of 4 to 1. The goals for the Revolution were scored by Lee Nguyen (2) Saer Sene, and Shalrie Joseph. The lone Whitecaps goal was scored by Eric Hassli. Lee Nguyen was cut from the Whitecaps roster late in preseason of this year after coaches said he wasn't good enough. Now is his only chance this season to show up his former team, and he did with a stellar performance.Vancouver struck first in the fifth minute but then the Revs marched down and got it back one minute later with Nguyen's first goal. The Revs never looked back after dominating the entire first half. They took the lead in the 24th minute with a Nguyen assist. He scored again in the 77th minute off a volley from 25 yard out, and he is now a goal of the week candidate. In a post game interview Nguyen said  "The way it ended up I couldn’t have dreamt it any better." The Revs were certainly happy to get their fourth win of the season, they are currently in fifth place in the eastern conference
