New England Revolution II and Toronto FC II End Deadlocked, Revs Claim Bonus Point

Toronto FC II (0W-1L-1T, 1 point) and New England Revolution II (0W-0L-2T, 4 points) played out a goalless draw at Beirne Stadium, before the hosts claimed the extra point with a 7-6 MLS NEXT Pro shootout result on Sunday evening.

TFC II Head Coach Gianni Cimini made three changes from his season-opening starting XI against Philadelphia Union II with Luca Costabile, Tim Fortier and Joshua Nugent coming in for Edwin Omoregbe, Micah Chisholm and Shyon Pinnock.

Following an evenly contested, goalless first half in Rhode Island, the Sunday evening match sprung to life after the interval as both sides exchange goalscoring opportunities. Josh Nugent came closest to opening the scoring for the Young Reds from close-range before making way for Jahmarie Nolan in the 63rd minute. Nolan, who recently starred for Jamaica at the 2026 Concacaf U-20 Qualifiers, appeared off the bench to make his first appearance of the 2026 campaign.

TFC II goalkeeper Zakaria Nakhly recorded six saves between the sticks, building on a five-save performance in his Young Reds debut against Philadelphia Union II last weekend. The Canadian-Moroccan shot-stopper was alert throughout and on hand to produce an outstretched stop to deny Allan Oyirwoth a stoppage-time winner from distance for the hosts.

With the contest scoreless at the final whistle, the two Eastern Conference clubs headed to an MLS NEXT Pro shootout, where New England Revolution II claimed the extra point with a 7-6 victory.

Toronto FC II visit Columbus Crew 2 in MLS NEXT Pro action next on Sunday, March 15. Kick-off from ScottsMiracle-Gro Field in Columbus, Ohio is set for 3:00 p.m. ET and and will be available to watch globally on MLSNEXTPro.com and OneFootball.
