March 6, 2016 – Diego Fagundez scores in 3rd minute. Houston 3×3 Revolution

Diego Fagundez’ third-minute goal tied Shalrie Joseph (2011) for second-earliest goal in a Revolution season. The fastest remains Giovanni Savarese’s score after 22 seconds in the 1999 season-opener in Miami.

The Revolution’s inability to sustain the advantage indicated the team’s defensive problems, which would not be solved until late in the season.

Fagundez would go on to become the only Revolution player to participate in all 34 games (six goals) in the 2016 season. Fagundez, 22, who scored his first Revolution goal as a 16-year-old in 2011, ranks seventh on the all-time team scoring list with 34 goals. Chris Aduama photo
