FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution (6-5-5, 23 pts.) defeated Minnesota United FC (5-7-3, 18 pts.), 2-1, on Sunday night at Gillette Stadium as the club commemorated the Juneteenth holiday.

With the win, New England extended its unbeaten streak to eight games (4-0-4), tying the fifth-longest stretch without a loss in club annals. Minnesota took the lead in the 37th minute after Emanuel Reynoso scored on a penalty kick. The Revolution were energized to start the second half and tied the game in the 53rd minute with Dylan Borrero’s first Revolution goal. The Colombian midfielder collected a pass from Carles Gil and scored with a right-footed shot from the outside of the box.
In the 69th minute, Gustavo Bou broke the deadlock with a free kick goal, the game winner, into the top right corner.

Bou and Borrero shared the team lead with three shots apiece.
Goalkeeper Matt Turner spent the match as an unused substitute on New England’s bench in what marked the final match of his Revolution tenure. Turner is now set to travel to London to complete his transfer to English Premier League club Arsenal F.C.
