New England Revolution News Release
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The New England Revolution (2-9-1; 7 pts.) fell, 3-0, to the Philadelphia Union (4-4-5, 17 pts.) on Saturday night in front of 34,947 fans at Gillette Stadium. An early red card to Ryan Spaulding in the 14 th minute forced New England to play with 10 men for the final 76 minutes of the match. The Revolution battled through the one-man disadvantage to create several scoring chances, but it was Philadelphia who broke the deadlock in the 38 th minute and extended the lead with two second-half goals.
After starting the match on the front foot, New England was reduced to 10 men in the 14 th minute when Spaulding was shown a red card for bringing down Philadelphia's Mikael Uhre from behind, a foul the referee deemed denial of an obvious goal-scoring opportunity. The Revolution continued to apply pressure despite the setback, though Philadelphia finally took advantage in the 38 th minute when Julian Carranza headed home a cross from Jack McGlynn. Dániel Gazdag added to the Union lead on the other side of halftime with goals in the 47 th and 80 th minutes.
In tonight's match, Revolution forward Dylan Borrero started for the first time this season as he made his fourth appearance back from injury. The young Colombian's best chance came in first half stoppage time, receiving a pass in behind before being denied from a narrow angle by Union goalkeeper Oliver Semmle. Defender DeJuan Jones made his first appearance as a second-half substitute after missing the last four matches. Fellow outside back Nick Lima suited up for his 175 th MLS start on Saturday. In net for New England, Aljaž Ivačič recorded seven saves in his home debut for the club.
New England is back at home next Saturday, May 25 against New York City FC at Gillette Stadium. The 7:30 p.m. ET match airs live on MLS Season Pass on the Apple TV app in English and Spanish.
