FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The New England Revolution (9-15-8; 35 pts.) defeated Atlanta United FC (5-13-12, 27 pts.), 2-0, on Saturday night at Gillette Stadium with 25,790 fans in attendance. The Revolution's newest striker Dor Turgeman recorded a goal and assist in his MLS debut, and forward Leo Campana netted his seventh goal of the season to seal the victory. New England's goalkeeper Matt Turner made four saves for his second clean sheet of the season and the team's 10th of the year, their most since 2013.

New England came close to scoring the opener in the eighth minute, when midfielder Allan Oyirwoth unleashed a shot from distance that went wide of the left post. The 18-year-old Uganda international earned his third straight start and fourth consecutive MLS appearance in tonight's contest. Forward Tomás Chancalay followed that effort with a powerful strike from outside of the penalty area in the 23rd minute, one of the team's seven shots in the opening frame, but his attempt curled past the post to keep the match scoreless heading into halftime.

New England ramped up the pressure after play resumed, forcing three turnovers in quick succession inside Atlanta's half. Forward Luca Langoni unleashed a cultured strike towards the corner, as the shot ricocheted off the crossbar.

In the 58th minute, Interim Head Coach Pablo Moreira turned to his bench and brought on the club's marquee summer signing, Turgeman, whose influence tilted the match in New England's favor. The Israel international opened the scoring in the 72nd minute, as he chopped the ball past an Atlanta defender and curled his first MLS shot attempt into the net. Midfielder Carles Gil provided the slick feed for the game-winning goal, giving the captain 12 helpers on the year and 150 goal contributions in all competitions. Gil's 85th league assist moved him into a tie with Maxi Moralez for the most among all active MLS players.

Campana scored his seventh goal of the season just three minutes later, assisted by a clever pass from Turgeman. The Ecuadorian returned from a three-game injury absence and thumped home a shot only 10 minutes into his shift. Turner was credited with a secondary assist on the goal, the second of his MLS career and only the seventh goalkeeper assist in club history. Turner tied Bobby Shuttleworth (46) for second-most victories in club annals. The Revolution have now reached double-digit shutouts for the fifth time in team history.

New England will travel to Inter Miami CF for its regular season road finale next Saturday, Oct. 5, a 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff at Chase Stadium.
