FOXBOROUGH, Mass., May 17 (UPI) -- Kheli Dube scored six minutes into his first Major League Soccer start Saturday to help the New England Revolution post a 2-0 MLS victory over San Jose.
Dube, starting in place of injured striker Taylor Twellman, was set up by veterans Steve Ralston and Shalrie Joseph. He just had to tap the ball into the net from a few yards out.
San Jose's James Riley, who played the last three seasons with New England, put up a second goal for his former team when he accidentally kicked the ball into his own net.
New England (5-3-1) movesd to within three points of first place in the MLS Eastern Conference.
San Jose (1-5-1) was shut out for the sixth time this season and is winless in four straight games. The Earthquakes are last in the Western Conference.
