Cate’s Penalty Kick Gives Revolution Tie

Brazilian midfielder Cate scored on a penalty kick in the final minute to lift the New England Revolution to a 1-1 tie with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars on Sunday before 28,628 at Foxboro, Mass.

The MetroStars appeared headed for a victory after a 25th-minute goal by Rodrigo Faria, but New England forward Johnny Torres was taken down in the penalty area by Richie Williams to set up the tying kick.

Cate beat goalkeeper Tim Howard with a high shot to the center of the net. It was Cate’s fourth goal of the season, three of which have been on penalty kicks.

Faria’s goal, his second, came after Clint Mathis took a pass from Mark Chung and found Faria unmarked in the middle of the New England area. Faria’s strike from 15 yards beat Revolution goalkeeper Juergen Sommer.
