While Houston were defeated 2-1 by FC Cincinnati in their first game of the season, the Revs triumphed 1-0 over Charlotte FC.
New England Revs had a disappointing 2022 season by their own lofty standards; however, managing to get their 2023 season off to a winning start will boost morale in the camp for their upcoming season.
Centre-back Henry Kessler scored the game's lone goal in the 89th minute after advancing and slipping the ball past Charlotte goalkeeper Pablo Sisniega.
Meanwhile, Houston Dynamo will be sad to have departed Ohio with little to show for their efforts after controlling major portions of the game, as they lost 2-1 to FC Cincinnati in their season opener.
How well Houston can perform under its new boss, Ben Olsen remains to be seen. The former DC United manager will be impressed with how his team managed the game but will be hoping the results will follow soon.
