When Revolution II battled Union Omaha on May 12, it didn’t take long for Damian Rivera to make an impression. Within a span of 12 minutes, the midfielder engineered back-to-back chances that lifted spectators out of their seats, hinting at his growing confidence.
On the first play, Rivera nutmegged a defender on the endline, drove into the box, and rifled a shot to the near post. Minutes later, he deftly evaded a defender on the byline, beat another opponent inside the box, and cushioned a teasing service in front of goal.
