There hadn’t been a game on the road this season that the Crew felt like they weren’t in a position to win. Yet, they had just three points and no wins to show for those performances through four games.
In the first of three away games this month against playoff-caliber teams, the Crew had the lead for nearly 70 minutes against the New England Revolution before falling behind in a matter of 12 minutes. But Erik Hurtado would have the last word.
Miguel Berry scored his first goal since the season opener on Feb. 26 in the 27th minute to give the Crew the opening lead for the second straight game, but New England right back DeJuan Jones scored in the 70th minute before striker Adam Buksa scored on a header to take a 2-1 lead in the 82nd minute.
Crew coach Caleb Porter substituted Hurtado in for Aidan Morris for some extra attacking presence before the ensuing kickoff, and Hurtado would deliver the tying goal in the 89th minute for a dramatic and impactful 2-2 draw at Gillette Stadium.
Derrick Etienne Jr. — playing right back after Marlon Hairston suffered an injury in warmups and couldn’t play — delivered a similar cross to the one he sent Berry in front of goal in the first half. Hurtado was in the perfect spot in front of U.S. international goalkeeper Matt Turner to stun the Revs.
