11/04/2007 - Foxborough, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - New England forward Taylor Twellman scored his eighth career Major League Soccer playoff goal Saturday to lead his squad to a 1-0 Eastern Conference Semifinal Series win over the New York Red Bulls.
With New York star striker Juan Pablo Angel on the sideline trying to decide if he was going to return to the game after taking a knee to the face, Revs midfielder Shalrie Joseph played a long ball to Steve Ralston in the offensive third. Ralston, the MLS all-time leader in assists, then played a perfect pass across the penalty area to an onrushing Twellman, who just slipped the ball over the goal line, off the fingertips of New York goalkeeper Jon Conway.
The victory propels second-seeded New England (15-8-9) to its sixth straight Eastern Conference final while improving the team's playoff record at Gillette Stadium to 7-0-3.
New York (12-12-8), on the other hand, fails to advance past the first round for the sixth straight season, with three of those exits coming at the hands of the Revolution.
The 1-0 victory comes a week after the two teams battled to a scoreless draw in the first leg of the total-goals, home-and-home series at Giants Stadium.
The game started with both teams adjusting to the wet conditions, but the Revs got the first scoring opportunity 21 minutes in. Midfielder Jeff Larentowicz received a flick pass from Twellman in the box, but the shot went wide.
New York was dealt its first blow just four minutes later when captain Claudio Reyna came out of the game with an unspecified injury. Clint Mathis, who has seen his minutes reduced in recent games, came on in his place.
New York finally generated its first quality chance about 10 minutes before the break when striker Jozy Altidore received a pass from Angel in the penalty area. Altidore then played a pass across the box in the direction of left back Dave van den Bergh, but the defense deflected it away before he could get on the other end.
Mathis created New York's best chance of the half just two minutes later when he received a pass at the top, right side of the box, turned and played the ball through defender Avery John's legs and fired at New England goalkeeper Matt Reis, but the shot hit the outside, side netting.
Conway made a great save on Revs rookie Wells Thompson in 41st minute after he one-timed a pass from inside the box and the teams headed into the break scoreless.
Reis made his best save of the game in the 52nd minute when Angel got position just outside the six-yard box and headed a Van den Bergh service on goal. Angle hung his head after the missed opportunity, as his header went right at the veteran 'keeper.
About five minutes later, with Angel and defender Jay Heaps battling for a ball in the air, Heaps inadvertently struck the Colombian striker in the jaw with his knee, sending him to the turf. Angel was sprawled out on the field for several minutes before being helped to the sideline, forcing the Red Bulls to play down a man.
While the New York training staff was trying to decide whether or not to bring Angel back into the game, the Revs took advantage, scoring the lone goal of the series.
New York forward John Wolyneic was actually up on the sidelines, warming up to come in after Angel, who apparently was concussed, could not convince the trainers to let him back into the match. With Wolyneic stretching the Revs scored the winner.
After the goal, New England backed off, slowing the game down.
New York's best chance for the equalizer came on a Wolyneic header eight minutes from time after a great cross from right back Hunter Freeman. The veteran striker positioned himself in the box and snapped the header from about 12 yards out, but it went high.
A Mathis volley from the backside after a corner kick in stoppage time went high and the Red Bulls season ended with their two designated player signings - Reyna and Angel - on the bench with injuries.
New England will now host the Eastern Championship match on Thursday against the Chicago Fire, who knocked off top-seeded D.C. United on Thursday.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
