CHESTER, Penn. - New England Revolution II (4-4-5; 21 pts.) battled Philadelphia Union II (6-1-5; 25 pts.) to a 2-2 draw on Wednesday night at Subaru Park. Philadelphia earned an additional point via 7-6 win in the ensuing penalty shootout.

New England commenced the scoring in the 27th minute, with a strike from Brazilian native Marcos Dias, who tallied his fourth goal of the season. The feed into the box came from Cranston, R.I. native Gevork Diarbian, who collected his third assist of the 2025 campaign on the tally.

The first half featured a series of back and fourth attempts. Philadelphia nearly leveled the scoring with shots from Cavan Sullivan and Henry Bernstein, but both attempts missed wide. Homegrown Player Damario McIntosh sent a pass in to the penalty area for New England leading scorer Liam Butts, but the attempt missed over the head of Union goalkeeper Pierce Holbrook just before halftime.

After an hour-and-a-half long weather delay, play resumed with New England holding its 1-0 lead. Javaun Mussenden, a 17-year-old Academy product, netted his first professional goal in the 55th minute to double Revolution II's lead. Mussenden converted on an assist from Dias, who now owns two goal-and-assist performances this season. The home side opened its scoring in the 61st minute, before leveling the match in the 68th minute.

New England brought deployed reinforcements off the bench in the closing minutes in Academy products Eli Ackerman and Aidan Reilly, as well as Jamaica native Damorney Hutchinson, in search of the winning goal. On the defensive end, Revolution goalkeeper Max Weinstein made his fourth start of the season, logging two saves in tonight's match.

Revolution II will close the two-game week on Sunday, when New England welcomes Huntsville City FC to Gillette Stadium. Sunday's match kicks off at 3:00 p.m. ET and is available to watch on MLS Season Pass on the Apple TV app.
