Revolution Capture 2-1 Win over New York Red Bulls

New England Revolution News Release


FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The New England Revolution (1-3-1, 4 pts.) defeated the New York Red Bulls (2-2-2, 8 pts.), 2-1, on Saturday in front of 20,439 fans at Gillette Stadium. In the 100th all-time meeting between the two sides, Revolution midfielder Carles Gil recorded two goals, including the game-winning penalty in second-half stoppage time, to lift New England over the Red Bulls.

New England drew first blood in the 28th minute, when Gil curled a free kick from 25 yards away into the top-left corner. The highlight-reel goal was the captain's 40th strike in MLS play, making him only the fourth Revolution player in club history to tally 40 goals and 40 assists in regular season action. Shortly before halftime, New York found the equalizer with Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting slotting home a low shot off the feed from Peter Stroud.

The Revolution piled on the pressure in the second half, finishing the match with the edge in shots (13) and attempts on target (six). The sides remained level entering second-half stoppage time, when referee Sergii Demianchuk's second trip to the video review monitors resulted in a penalty kick awarded to New England. Forward Ignatius Ganago was fouled in the box to earn the penalty opportunity, which Gil calmly buried to secure the three points for New England.

Ganago, Alhassan Yusuf, and Mamadou Fofana all started the match after returning late in the week from international duty. Yusuf and Matt Polster paired together in the midfield, with the latter completing 90.4 percent of his passes on the day. Ganago recorded four shots, tied with Gil for the game high, with two on target. Gil finished the night with three-of-four shot attempts on frame and three key passes.

Saturday's contest marked the season debuts for Revolution defenders Wyatt Omsberg and Tanner Beason, each making their first appearance with the club. Omsberg, the first Revolution player to hail from Maine, earned his first start of the season before an injury forced him off in the 37th minute, when he was replaced by Beason. In addition, 17-year-old Homegrown product Peyton Miller, who missed the opening four matches with a groin injury, started in his season debut.

The Revolution begin a road heavy stretch next Saturday, April 5 against FC Cincinnati at TQL Stadium (7:30 p.m. ET).
