April 8, 2023 – Major League Soccer (MLS) – New England Revolution News Release
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution (5-1-1; 16 pts.) defeated CF Montreal (1-5-0; 3 pts.), 4-0, at Gillette Stadium on Saturday night. Dylan Borrero, Carles Gil, Bobby Wood, and Giacomo Vrioni all tallied goals for New England as Djordje Petrović made three saves, and recorded an assist, to help secure the club’s fifth win and fourth clean sheet of the season through seven games.
Dylan Borrero opened the scoring in the 21st minute with a curling right-footed shot into the top-right corner, with Gustavo Bou and Carles Gil earning the assists. In nine games against Montreal, Bou has amassed six goals and three assists. For Gil, it was his 51st regular season assist for New England, moving him past Lee Nguyen into second place on the club’s all-time list.
Gil added to the scoring just before halftime, putting away a penalty kick after Montreal’s Gabriele Corbo was whistled for handling inside the box. It was his 10th penalty kick conversion in 12 MLS attempts, making him just the third Revolution player to convert double-digit penalties for the club.
Bobby Wood notched his second goal of the season 50th minute, giving him two goals and two assists in seven games. Wood was replaced by Giacomo Vrioni in the 62nd minute, who capped off the scoring with an individual effort to create a long-distance shot, which he tucked inside the post past an outstretched Jonathan Sirois. Goalkeeper Djordje Petrović, who now has the fourth most shutouts in team annals, recorded the assist on Vrioni’s goal. It was the first assist by a Revolution goalkeeper since Matt Turner on Sept. 22, 2021 at Chicago Fire FC.
