On a rainy afternoon at Gillette Stadium, the New England Revolution secured their first win of the season with a 2-1 victory over the New York Red Bulls. Captain Carles Gil was the hero, scoring both goals for the Revolution, including a penalty kick in stoppage time.
Gil’s first goal came from a free kick in the 28th minute, giving the home team the lead. The Red Bulls managed to equalize just before halftime, but a late VAR review awarded New England a penalty kick, which Gil calmly converted to secure the win.
The victory, while putting the Revolution at 1-3-1 for the season, brought relief to fans and players alike. The team showed significant improvement in their attacking performance, with Gil and young players like Ilay Feingold and Peyton Miller impressing on the field.
Despite the win, head coach Caleb Porter emphasized the need for consistency and continued improvement. The Revolution will face FC Cincinnati in their next match, aiming to build on the momentum of their long-awaited first win.
