Sainey Nyassi and Ken Abdoulie Mansally's New England Revolution beat D.C. United 1-0 courtesy of Phelan's first-half header on Saturday night in New England.
Mansally had the lone chance of the half for New England, as Tierney's free kick fell to him in the box. But the New England striker sent his shot just wide of the far post, without really challenging Hamid. From there, United were unable to create anything that looked to be a potential equalizer.
