BRADENTON, Fla. - The New England Revolution continued the 2026 preseason on Friday afternoon at IMG Academy, dueling FC Cincinnati to a 1-1 draw across a 45-minute session, followed by a 60-minute session. After Cincinnati opened the scoring in the second half, Ecuadorian forward Leo Campana equalized with New England's lone goal, his second consecutive tally of the preseason.

New England and Cincinnati played to a scoreless opening 45 minutes. Homegrown defender Peyton Miller and 23-year-old winger Griffin Yow both logged their first minutes of the preseason, with the latter suiting up for a start in his first Revolution appearance. In net for New England, U.S. Men's National Team goalkeeper Matt Turner produced a 71-minute performance, which included a highlight-reel save to deny a Cincinnati free kick in the 52nd minute.

Cincinnati's Kévin Denkey broke the deadlock in the 53rd minute. Head Coach Marko Mitrović then deployed 12 substitutes during the second session. Defender Andrew Farrell, goalkeeper Donovan Parisian, and midfielder Javaun Mussenden all saw their first preseason minutes. Mussenden, an 18-year-old Revolution II product, also made his first appearance with New England's senior team. In the 85th minute, Campana pulled New England level, finishing low into the bottom-left corner for the tying goal. Campana has now scored in both of the Revolution's preseason matches.
