The Revs were missing a massive amount of impact players in Ft. Lauderdale, but it was hard to even notice. Miami was simply horrible on the night, while New England finished off all of their first half chances.
It was a highlight night for Arnór Traustason and Carles Gil, who assisted two goals before being substituted out to miss his first minutes of the 2021 season.
