New England Revolution II News Release
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - New England Revolution II (3-3-3; 15 pts.) fell to Chattanooga FC (8-1-2; 27 pts.), 1-0, at Finley Stadium on Saturday night. Despite New England registering a season-high 25 shots, Chattanooga's lone goal in the 11th minute provided the difference.
Tonight's match featured the debut of Revolution Academy defender Aidan Reilly. An 18-year-old from Pembroke, Mass., Reilly became the 50th Academy product to suit up for his professional debut with Revolution II since the program's inaugural season in 2020.
Chattanooga broke the stalemate early, when Tate Robertson delivered a pass into the penalty area for Peter Plougmand, who calmly buried his shot to give the hosts the lead. New England continued to generate scoring opportunities in the first half, including a powerful strike from 18-year-old Ugandan midfielder Allan Oyirwoth in the 13th minute, though it was saved by Chattanooga's goalkeeper. Oyirwoth, making his sixth appearance of the season, posted two shots on the night.
In search of an equalizer, New England deployed several second-half substitutes including current Academy players Javaun Mussenden and Judah Siqueira, who both logged their fifth appearances of the season. Chicopee, Mass. native and Academy forward Cristiano Carlos also came off the bench to mark his second straight MLS NEXT Pro appearance.
Revolution II's backline of Hesron Barry, Gabe Dahlin, Victor Souza, and Damario McIntosh held Chattanooga to just seven shots to New England's season-best 25 shots. Brazil international Marcos Dias and Cranston, R.I. native Gevork Diarbian both tallied a team-high five shots on the night. In net for New England, JD Gunn made two saves in his fifth appearance of the season.
New England continues its five-game road stretch next Saturday, May 31, with a visit to Eastern Conference side New York City FC II at Belson Stadium. The match kicks off at 4:00 p.m. ET and is available to watch live on MLSNEXTPro.com, with Jake Griffith calling the game action.
