New England Revolution II News Release


FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - New England Revolution II (1-0-1; 5 pts.) shut out FC Cincinnati 2 (0-2-0; 0 pts.), 2-0, on Thursday evening at Gillette Stadium. Revolution II newcomer Damorney Hutchinson netted his first goal in his New England debut. Goalkeeper JD Gunn earned his second straight shutout in net.

Midway through the first half, Ugandan midfielder Allan Oyirwoth nearly opened the scoring for New England with a lifted shot that narrowly missed the frame. The 18-year-old logged 63 minutes in his club and MLS NEXT Pro debut tonight. On the defensive end, Gabe Dahlin, a Gothenburg, Sweden native, posted a 44-minute shift in his professional debut.

New England broke the deadlock in the 63rd minute, when Hutchinson delivered a shot behind Cincinnati's goalkeeper to open Revolution II's account. The Jamaican striker capitalized on an assist from Filipino forward Alex Monis, his first helper of the 2025 MLS NEXT Pro campaign.

Moments later, New England doubled its lead when Brazil international Marcos Dias blasted home a shot in the 75th minute, recording his 25th goal in a Revolution II uniform. Dias led New England's attack with four shots on the night, three on target.

Six Academy graduates saw action in Thursday's match, with Gevork Diarbian, Damario McIntosh, and Eric Klein earning starts, while Joe Buck, Cristiano Oliveira, and Olger Escobar entered the match as second-half substitutes.
