Despite short turnaround, Toronto FC looking to avenge New England loss
TORONTO — Short turnaround or not, Toronto FC has a score to settle with the New England Revolution on Friday night.
The Revs handed Toronto one of its two league losses this season and defender Eriq Zavaleta, for one, has not forgotten the 3-0 defeat June 3 at Gillette Stadium.
“We didn’t have a great night against them and they punished us,” Zavaleta said. “But at the same time we felt liked they showed a little bit of a lack of class towards the end of the game in the way that they did a couple of things — the way that they danced on the ball or the way that they celebrated a couple of goals.
“And because of that it gave us a little extra chip (on the shoulder) that, in my opinion, you don’t want to give a team like us.”
