New England Revolution claimed their first win of the MLS season thanks to a 1-0 victory at home to New York Red Bulls, but it was not without controversy on Friday.
After three draws and a loss to the start the season, the Revolution finally opened their account thanks to Diego Fagundez's 55th-minute effort at Gillette Stadium.
Felipe Martins was shown a straight red card six minutes later for a seemingly innocuous challenge in midfield and the Red Bulls lost their way from that point as they slumped to a third defeat in four matches.
The Revolution wasted two good opportunities in the first half but Fagundez made no mistake 10 minutes after the break, tucking the ball into the net, having latched onto Juan Agudelo's pass across the six-yard box.
