The Revolution collected their first win of the 2014 season the next week, however, beating the heavily favored Chicago Wildfire in Cincinnati by a score of 23-22. In what was arguably the biggest upset in franchise history, Revolution relied on Nate Botti throughout the game, as he collected 8 assists and 5 goals, staving off an impressive offensive performance by the Wildfire's A.J. Nelson, who caught 11 goals in the game. Botti would go on to have a breakout year for the Revolution, leading the team with 47 assists, while placing second on the team with 19 goals, one behind team leader Matt Muhlenkamp.
