Late Fagundez goal gives Revolution draw with Sounders

Just when the New England Revolution were on the verge of losing at home, their youngest player came through to prevent that from happening.

Seventeen-year-old forward Diego Fagundez netted a last-gasp equalizer to give the Revolution a 2-2 draw against the Seattle Sounders at Gillette Stadium on Saturday night, marking a second straight week that New England grabbed a result late.

Fagundez's first goal of the season came off a header in the fourth minute of second-half stoppage time, and it negated an Eddie Johnson brace. Johnson scored twice on headers in the first half after Saer Sene opened the scoring with a tap-in from close range.

The result saw the Revolution end June unbeaten in four games, while Seattle finished the month without a league victory at 0-2-2. The Sounders are also winless in their last eight regular season matches, with their last triumph coming on May 9 against FC Dallas.

Here are the match highlights:
