Carles Gil Delivers Late Winner as Revolution Beat Union to Stay Perfect at Home

The result puts New England within reach of first place entering a home date with Nashville.

Overview

  • New England, which rallied Saturday night in Foxborough, beat Philadelphia 2-1 after an own goal put the Union ahead and Luca Langoni tied it in the 61st minute on Gil’s pass.
  • The victory pushed the Revolution’s unbeaten run to seven matches and set a club mark at 6-0-0 to start the season at Gillette Stadium.
  • First-year coach Marko Mitrovic’s side is 7-3-1 overall and 6-0-1 over the last seven league games, reflecting a sharp turnaround from back-to-back seasons without a playoff berth.
  • Philadelphia fell to 1-8-3 in what is its worst start, a stark drop for last year’s Supporters’ Shield winners after opening this season with six straight losses.
  • New England hosts Eastern Conference leader Nashville on Wednesday, a chance to climb into the top spot before MLS pauses in June for the World Cup.
