CARSON, Calif. (AP) – Taylor Twellman scored in the 59th minute in his 2008 debut to lift the New England Revolution to a 2-1 win over Chivas USA on Sunday.

Twellman had been sidelined after having successful surgery to repair a torn medial meniscus in his right knee April 2. It was the Revolution’s first-ever win on the road at Chivas USA. New England had been 0-2-1 against the Goats on the West Coast.

New England took a 1-0 lead in the 18th minute on a goal by Kenny Mansally. Jeff Larentowicz sent a long ball over the top of the Goats’ defense, putting Mansally in alone on Chivas USA goalkeeper Brad Guzan. The 19-year-old Gambian used his first touch to place a left-footed shot just inside the far post.

Twellman extended the lead to 2-0 after entering the game as a sub in the 54th minute. He sent a left-footed shot past Guzan.

Justin Braun scored the Goats lone goal in stoppage time when he received a centering pass from Maykel Galindo.
