New England Revolution II News Release


BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. - New England Revolution II (4-3-4; 20 pts.) dueled Chicago Fire FC II (5-4-2; 17 pts.) to a 2-2 draw on Monday afternoon at SeatGeek Stadium, collecting an additional point with the 5-4 shootout victory. New England's attacking efforts were highlighted by a pair of 16-year-old Revolution Academy products, Judah Siqueira and Josh Macedo, who both netted their first professional goals in Monday's match.

The first 21 minutes of the match were played on Sunday afternoon, before weather delays postponed the remaining minutes of the contest until Monday. New England commenced the scoring on Sunday, with Siqueira opening his MLS NEXT Pro account in the 15th minute. Siqueira, an Easton, Mass. native, converted on a feed inside the penalty area from midfielder Gevork Diarbian. The Providence College alum recorded his third goal contribution over the last five matches, and his second assist of the season.

The match resumed in the 22nd minute on Monday, with New England holding a 1-0 edge over Chicago. Just before halftime, the hosts equalized when Chicago's Jean Diouf volleyed in a corner from Claudio Cassano in the 42nd minute, sending New England's fifth consecutive road game into a 1-1 tie at halftime.

New England regained the lead in the 59th minute, with Macedo netting the first goal of his professional career, an unassisted tally. Dias initiated the play, firing a shot that deflected off the hands of Chicago's goalkeeper to the feet of Macedo. The Academy product buried the rebound into the net to put New England ahead. Chicago rallied again in the 78th minute, with Cassano leveling the match at 2-2.

In net for New England, Max Weinstein made three saves in his second straight start, also recording one stop in the ensuing penalty shootout. In front of Weinstein, the center-back pairing of Boston College alum Victor Souza and Sweden international Gabe Dahlin both logged their 10th appearances of the season. Left back Hesron Barry submitted a 90-minute shift in his 10th start of the campaign, joining Macedo on the flanks.

Revolution II forward Michael Tsicoulias, who signed with the club two weeks ago, logged his first start of the 2025 campaign in the match. The Newton, Mass. native who most recently featured for the University of New Hampshire has seen minutes in consecutive contests since joining New England.

New England concludes it's five-game road swing and returns home to Foxborough this weekend, hosting Eastern Conference side FC Cincinnati 2 at Gillette Stadium. Sunday's match kicks off at 2:00 p.m. ET and is available to watch live on MLS Season Pass on the Apple TV app, with James Hadnot calling the contest.
