Chancalay and Urruti Open 2025 MLS Accounts in Thrilling Draw

May 25, 2025 - Major League Soccer (MLS)
New England Revolution News Release


KANSAS CITY, Kan. - The New England Revolution (5-4-4; 19 pts.) began a three-game road swing with a 3-3 draw against Sporting Kansas City (3-8-4; 13 pts.) at Children's Mercy Park on Saturday night. New England extends its unbeaten streak to seven games as the team's away record moves to 3-2-3. The Revolution are undefeated in their last five games on the road (3-0-2), with multiple goals in each of their last three.

The Revolution were on the front foot from the opening whistle, creating multiple chances down the left side through Peyton Miller, who tested Kansas City's backline with three early crosses in the first eight minutes. New England was rewarded with the opening goal in the 14th minute as Tomás Chancalay, making his first MLS start of the season in his return from injury, finished off an assist from Ignatius Ganago. It was Revolution captain Carles Gil's through ball to Ganago that unbalanced the defense, as both players picked up their third assist of the season.

It took less than 10 minutes for the Revolution to double the lead on an own goal charged to Sporting's Jacob Bartlett in the 22nd minute. Ilay Feingold charged in from the right side and connected with Gil, who switched play with a line-breaking diagonal pass to Miller. The 17-year-old Homegrown sent a hard roller across the face of goal toward Alhassan Yusuf, which Bartlett deflected into his own net.

The chances continued for New England for the rest of the half, as Chancalay tested SKC goalkeeper John Pulskamp with two long-range shots on target. In the 42nd minute, Feingold found the Argentinian alone in the center of the penalty area, but his shot was sent over the bar. Chancalay finished the first half with five shots and three on target, tied for his single-game career high.

Kansas City recaptured momentum in the second half, pulling a goal back in the 53rd minute through their captain Daniel Salloi. His first effort was saved by Revolution goalkeeper Aljaž Ivačič, but the rebound fell kindly to Salloi, who made no mistake with the follow up. Soon after, Mamadou Fofana was called for a foul in the box and Dejan Joveljić converted from the penalty spot for the equalizer. In the 61st minute, the hosts pulled ahead on a goal by Manu García.

The Revolution pulled level in the 84th minute on a combination by two second-half substitutes. Alhassan Yusuf played a long pass to spring Luis Diaz in behind the Kansas City defense. The veteran winger slipped a pass into the path of Maxi Urruti, who tapped home his first MLS goal for the club in his 10th appearance of the campaign.

New England will remain on the road for a midweek match against D.C. United on Wednesday, May 28 at Audi Field. The 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff airs on MLS Season Pass on the Apple TV app in English and Spanish.
