Revolution Fall despite Campana's Brace

New England Revolution News Release


HARRISON, N.J. - The New England Revolution (6-9-7; 25 pts.) fell to the New York Red Bulls (9-8-6, 33 pts.), 5-3, at Sports Illustrated Stadium on Wednesday night. Forward Leo Campana bagged a brace for his first multi-goal game of the season, but the hosts rallied from a halftime deficit with five second-half goals to claim all three points.

New England immediately began the night on the front foot, with Campana opening the scoring in just the fifth minute. After a deflected pass from Luca Langoni fell into his path, Campana placed a low, left-footed shot past a diving Carlos Coronel to give the Revolution an early lead. The Ecuadorian forward nearly struck again off a corner kick in the 21st minute, but the referee disallowed the goal after video review for a handball on the attempt. Campana ended the night with a season-high six shots and recorded a new MLS career-best with four attempts on target.

The Revolution doubled their advantage in the 30th minute through an own goal off Red Bulls defender Kyle Duncan. Langoni burst into the box and nailed a shot off the left post, which caromed off Duncan and into the net. Langoni, making his fourth straight start, tallied two shots and two key passes in Wednesday's contest.

New York cut into the deficit in the 56th minute, as Daniel Edelman snuck a shot through New England's backline and into the bottom-left corner of the net. The Red Bulls pulled even in the 70th minute with Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting capitalizing on an assist from Emil Forsberg, who scored a goal of his own two minutes later to put the hosts ahead. Choupo-Moting netted his second goal of the night in the 83rd minute, before Forsberg closed the host's scoring from the penalty spot.

In second-half stoppage time, Campana completed his first brace with the Revolution, volleying home a giveaway from New York defender Alexander Hack, who had knocked down a cross by Revolution captain Carles Gil. Gil, who was added to the 2025 MLS All-Star roster this week, logged two key passes in his 200th appearance across all competitions for the club. In net for New England, Aljaž Ivačič made four saves in his 100th MLS start.

The Revolution close a stretch of five games in 15 days on Saturday, July 19, hosting Orlando City SC. The 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff from Gillette Stadium will air on MLS Season Pass in English and Spanish and on Apple TV+. Listen to Brad Feldman and Charlie Davies call the action on 98.5 The Sports Hub, or on Más Latino 99.9 FM / 1300 AM (Spanish) and 1260 AM Nossa Radio USA (Portuguese).
