The New England Revolution tuned up for the MLS playoffs with a 1-0 win over Toronto FC in front of a whopping 32,766 fans at Gillette Stadium on Saturday night. The crowd, the third-largest to see the Revs play in Foxborough, came out for the team’s regular season finale and also wound up witnessing their favorite team tie a club record for most wins in a season.

Midfielder Lee Nguyen notched his career-high 18th goal for the Revs, who have won nine of their last 11 games.

The Revolution are locked in as the Eastern Conference’s second seed and will meet either Sporting Kansas City or the New York Red Bulls in a conference semifinal next weekend.
