FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - New England Revolution II (13-7-7; 51 pts.) fell to Crown Legacy FC (7-13-8, 32 pts.), 1-0, on Friday afternoon at Gillette Stadium. A second-half tally by Crown Legacy's Andrej Subotic provided the only goal in New England's final match of its 2025 regular season home slate.

Despite a scoreless first half, New England tested Crown Legacy with several scoring opportunities. Boston College alum Victor Souza nearly headed home the opening goal via free kick from Marcos Dias in the 12th minute, but visiting goalkeeper Isaac Walker reacted quickly with a diving save. Dias registered a team-high three key passes on the day, extending his league lead to 87 key passes on the season.

Midfielder Cristiano Oliveira, a 2025 MLS NEXT All-Star, drilled a shot on target in the 34th minute, but Walker denied the effort to keep the match scoreless at halftime. The Somerville, Mass. native led New England's attacking efforts with three shot attempts today. Oliveira was one of six Academy graduates to appear in today's contest, featuring in the Starting XI alongside Damario McIntosh, Gevork Diarbian, and Malcolm Fry, while Joe Buck and Michael Tsicoulias logged minutes off the bench.

Shortly into the second half, the visitors fired two consecutive close-range shots on net in the 50th minute, forcing goalkeeper Donovan Parisian to make back-to-back saves. However, Crown Legacy broke the stalemate in the 76th minute, with Andrej Subotic slotting home the winning goal of the match. Parisian, a 2025 MLS SuperDraft first-round selection, recorded a career-high four saves in his 14th start of the season.

New England will visit Inter Miami CF II for its 2025 regular season finale next Sunday, October 5, before the team shifts its focus to MLS NEXT Pro playoff action. The 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff is available to watch live via MLS Season Pass on Apple TV, with Joe Malfa providing play-by-play.
