April 30, 2023 – Major League Soccer (MLS) – New England Revolution News Release
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution (6-1-3; 21 pts.) played FC Cincinnati (6-1-3; 21 pts.) to a 1-1 draw on Saturday night in front of 30,080 at Gillette Stadium to extend their unbeaten run to seven games in MLS regular season play. Emmanuel Boateng tallied his first goal of the season, assisted by Brandon Bye, while goalkeeper Djordje Petrović made four saves, including his fifth career penalty kick save in the 30th minute to help New England remain undefeated at home.
Petrović denied Luciano Acosta from the penalty spot after Revolution forward Justin Rennicks was called for handling in the penalty area. With the stop, Petrović became the fastest player in MLS history to record five penalty saves, doing so in his 31st MLS match and on his 14th attempt faced.
Moments later, Cincinnati opened the scoring when Yerson Mosquera headed in an ensuing corner. New England equalized in first-half stoppage time as Bye drove a cross through the six-yard box to Boateng, who tapped home his first goal of the season. Boateng led the Revolution with four shots and two on target in the match across his 90 minutes of action. The assist was Bye’s 20th helper in all competitions for the Revolution.
Two Homegrown Players started the match, as Justin Rennicks led the line with Noel Buck in the midfield. Fellow Revolution Academy product Esmir Bajraktarevic also entered the match in the 22nd minute to replace Dylan Borrero, who left the match with a left knee injury.
With tonight’s result, the Revolution remain unbeaten against Eastern Conference opponents, now 4-0-3 on the 2023 season. New England is also undefeated at home through six games for the fourth time in club history, posting a 4-0-2 record in regular season play at Gillette Stadium.
