FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The New England Revolution have advanced to the Round of 16 in the 2024 Concacaf Champions Cup, where they will face two-time tournament champions Liga Deportiva Alajuelense for the third time in tournament history. The home-and-away series kicks off on Wednesday, March 6 with a 6:00 p.m. ET kickoff at Gillette Stadium, before the return leg at Estadio Alejandro Morera Soto in Alajuela, Costa Rica on Thursday, March 14 at 8:00 p.m. ET.

New England advanced to the Round of 16 by eliminating the reigning champions of Panama, Club Atletico Independiente, in Round One by an aggregate score of 4-0. New England earned a 3-0 victory in Thursday's match with goals from Nacho Gil, Tomás Chancalay, and Mark-Anthony Kaye. Goalkeeper Henrich Ravas, making his third straight start across all competitions, collected his second clean sheet in as many Concacaf Champions Cup appearances. The Revolution entered tonight's second leg match with a 1-0 lead after winning the first leg on Feb. 21 in Panama.
