The New England Revolution raced out to an early lead, and it held up, as they defeated Toronto FC 3-2 on Saturday at Gillette Stadium.

The scoring started early, as the Revolution forced a turnover near the center line, and on a counter-attack, Teal Bunbury fed Cristian Penilla, whose shot from distance made no mistake in the fourth minute. The Ecuadorian completed a quick brace just three minutes later, taking another turnover and hitting the open net after TFC 'keeper Alex Bono was caught out playing the ball.

Following the halftime break, the Revolution piled onto their lead, as Teal Bunbury notched his fifth goal of the season.

Toronto FC tried to find a foothold in the game, and forced an own goal off a Jay Chapman cross in the 55th minute. Sebastian Giovinco scored a late penalty to bring TFC closer, but following the goal, he grabbed Wilfried Zahibo's face before the kick off, and was issued a straight red card.
