Union and Revolution play to a 0-0 draw

Posted: September 02, 2012

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - Zac MacMath made three saves in a shutout, but the Union could manage only a draw against the New England Revolution, 0-0, on Saturday night.

MacMath did not face a shot on goal until the 61st minute, by New England's Stephen McCarthy.

The Union (7-13-4) didn't do much with the few chances they were afforded, as their best chance came from Amobi Okugo's header in the 43d minute that bounced off the bar.

Matt Reis had seven saves for the Revolution, whose winless streak reached a franchise-record 10 games. New England (6-14-7) has not won since beating the New York Red Bulls on July 8, going 0-7-3 since to drop from sixth to ninth in the standings. The Revolution were also shut out for the 10th time, tying the franchise record set last year.

Before the game, New England announced leading scorer Saer Sene will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL, an injury suffered during Wednesday's match against Chivas USA.

Kelyn Rowe had a chance for New England in the 63d minute after he went down the right side and attempted to cross it into the area before MacMath smothered it.
