There weren't many who doubted Benny Feilhaber's ability to contribute in MLS -- except maybe Peter Nowak -- but no one expected him to contribute quite this early. The New England Revolution's newest player needed just 12 minutes to pick up his first assist, helping Marko Perovic score his first goal of the season. On the goal, Feilhaber tapped the ball back to Perovic, who blasted it from the edge of the penalty area.

Perovic's score gave the Revs the lead, but it was short-lived as Sporting Kansas City was able to tie it just two minutes later. Kei Kamara was able to beat Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis near post on a left-footed shot from about 16 yards out.
Feilhaber ended up with the Revolution after Chivas USA and the Philadelphia Union passed on the United States National Team midfielder. While Chivas USA made it clear that their decision was mostly about salary considerations, Union coach Nowak implied that he did not think particularly highly of Feilhaber.
