The New England Revolution entered the locker room of Saturday's game against CF Montreal with a one-goal lead after Luca Langoni scored in the 6th minute.

Here, the players were given a directive.

"The message from the coaches was that we don't want to stop," head coach Marko Mitrovic said. "It's 1-0, and we still have to be clinical when we get there. Every time in every game when we have the opportunity to go and score more goals, we'll score more goals."

Mamadou Fofana earned his first MLS goal in the 77th minute when he put away Langoni's set piece. A fast break during stoppage time gave Peyton Miller his second tally in three games.

The state of the game obviously matters, but it's also critical to find moments to attack.

"We have to treat every action the way it has to be treated on the field," Mitrovic said. "If it's the 90th minute and Peyton has that situation to go forward, just go forward and score the goal. There is no other choice in that moment.”

Miller, who has been entering as a winger while working back to fitness, likes the forward-thinking mentality.

"It just builds confidence," Miller said. "Even if the score is 1-0, he just wants us to keep piling on."

The Revs have now scored nine goals in two home games, an impressive feat considering they had 20 in 17 matches last year.

Mitrovic has introduced a free-flowing style of play, allowing players to get into the attack when others provide cover.

Brayan Ceballos (2), Dor Turgeman, Alhassan Yusuf, Griffin Yow, Langoni, and Miller (2) have all felt the joy of scoring at home.

“In every action, we have to execute it the way it should be executed, and we work on that in practice," Mitrovic explained. "We don't just practice in training that our forwards are scoring goals, and that our defenders are stopping goals.

"Our main objective is to understand that wherever the ball is, and whoever is in possession of the ball, what we are doing as a team. It's not easy to instill that behavior.

"For example, if you are a right full back and now you are in a forward position, just act as a forward and finish that attack. I think we are instilling that piece by piece. They are getting in that habit that in any given moment, there is an opportunity to score the goal and just do it. It's always great to score goals."

Saturday's game wasn't easy for the Revolution, as Montreal utilize a man-to-man system that can make the game chaotic. The visitors maintained 64% posession and had 1.09 expected goals compared to the Revs' 1.77.

Carles Gil admitted that "we ran a lot, defensively [and] offensively." Several players, including Turner (5 saves), had to make big defensive plays.

But everyone did their part to earn three points, as well as their first clean sheet of the season.

"We suffered for large parts of the game today," Turner said. "It was uncomfortable. They play man-to-man. It was hard for us to play the perfect soccer, the way we really wanted to. But we can win in different ways, and we showed that today."

The Revs are amid a critical stretch, as six of their next nine are in Foxborough. There's still a lot of work ahead, but the Revolution are happy to reward their loyal supporters with six points at Gillette Stadium.

"I think every time we score, those are happy moments," Mitrovic said. "Then the [happiest] moment is when you win the game."

The Revs will host D.C. United and the Columbus Crew before embarking on a two-game road trip to Atlanta United and Inter Miami CF.

"We've got to continue to take care of business because you can't get too high, can't get too low," Turner said. "After the last win, we ended up losing our next game. So for us, we got to stack wins and start climbing the table."
