New England enters Matchday 5 in second place in the Eastern Conference with three wins and three clean sheets following a 1-0 win over Nashville SC in Foxborough on Saturday. The Revolution’s three shutouts are tied for most in MLS through four weeks. With his latest shutout, goalkeeper Djordje Petrović became the fifth MLS goalkeeper to record 10 clean sheets in his first 25 league starts, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The young Serbian enters Matchday 5 tied for the league lead in wins (3), while ranking second in saves (20). Petrović earned a shutout in his only previous meeting with D.C. United, a 1-0 win on Aug. 13, 2022. Defender Henry Kessler, who has started all four games at center back next to Dave Romney, earned his second appearance on the MLS Team of the Matchday this season for the shutout performance against Nashville.

Forward Gustavo Bou, who also appeared on the MLS Team of the Matchday, provided the winning touch with a blast from his left foot in the 52nd minute for his first goal of the season, assisted by DeJuan Jones. Five different Revolution players have found the back of the net this year. The Argentinian striker wore the captain’s armband in his second start of the season, and New England’s second consecutive match with midfielder Carles Gil in the starting lineup as he works his way back from a muscle strain. With Gil on the mend, Bou is tasked with catalyzing a New England attack also led by experienced American forward Bobby Wood, who has made three straight starts with one goal scored. However, the Revolution will look to their offensive depth to account for the absence of 21-year-old midfielder Dylan Borrero, who is on international duty this week with the Colombia National Team.
