New England Revolution News Release


FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The New England Revolution (6-9-7; 25 pts.) will host Orlando City SC (9-6-8; 35 pts.) at Gillette Stadium on Saturday night for the club's annual Noite Brasileira. The 7:30 p.m. ET match airs on MLS Season Pass in English and Spanish. Listen locally on the radio at 98.5 The Sports Hub, Más Latino 99.9 FM / 1300 AM (Spanish), and 1260 AM Nossa Radio USA (Portuguese).

Saturday's match kicks off a four-game homestand for the Revolution, their longest home stretch of the 2025 season. New England will meet Orlando City for the second time this season, after the two Eastern Conference sides battled to a 3-3 draw on May 10 in Florida. Despite falling into an early 2-0 deficit, the Revolution rallied back into the match behind goals from Alhassan Yusuf, Matt Polster and Carles Gil, who also had an assist in the match.

Gil, the league leader in shot-creating actions (136), enters this weekend's match just two goal contributions shy of tying Taylor Twellman for the club record (129). In 10 career outings against Orlando, the four-time MLS All-Star owns six goals and seven assists. Following Saturday's match, the Revolution playmaker and 2021 MLS MVP will depart for Austin, Texas to represent New England at the 2025 MLS All-Star Game. Gil is now one of just four Revolution players to earn at least four All-Star selections.

In the team's last outing on Wednesday night against the New York Red Bulls, forward Leo Campana led New England's attack with two goals to double his season total, earning a spot on the MLS Team of the Matchday. The Ecuadorian recorded the first multi-goal performance of his Revolution career, while also tallying a season-best six shots and a new career high with four attempts on target. Forward Luca Langoni, seeking his fifth consecutive start, continues to provide a spark to New England's offense, helping force an own goal from the Red Bulls on Wednesday.

Defensively, both Ilay Feingold and Peyton Miller returned to action this week after missing three matches with an ankle injury. In central defense, Mamadou Fofana is poised to return to the squad after missing Wednesday's action due to a one-game suspension for yellow card accumulation. In net for New England, Aljaž Ivačič aims to suit up for his 50th Revolution appearance across all competitions, one game after recording his 100th MLS start.

Orlando travels to Foxborough following a 2-1 home loss to New York City FC on Wednesday night. The Lions have posted a 4-2-5 road record in 2025, recording a 3-1-1 stretch over their last five away games. Midfielder Martín Ojeda is currently tied for third in MLS with 10 assists and ranks fourth in key passes (64). New England will look to stifle an Orlando attack that sits tied for third in the Eastern Conference with 41 goals scored this season.
