New England Revolution News Release
CHICAGO – The New England Revolution (1-7-1; 4 pts.) will travel to take on Chicago Fire FC (2-4-4; 10 pts.) on Saturday night. The 8:30 p.m. ET kickoff at Soldier Field is available to watch FREE on the Apple TV app in English and Spanish. Listen on the radio on 98.5 The Sports Hub HD2 (WBZ-FM), with Brad Feldman and Charlie Davies on the call, and on 1260 AM “Nossa Radio USA” in Portuguese.
New England embarks on another two-game road swing after setting a single-game home attendance record last Saturday night with 65,612 fans in Foxborough to see the Revolution host Inter Miami CF. The Revolution began last week’s match on the front foot with Tomás Chancalay tallying his first MLS goal of the season only 37 seconds into the contest. Chancalay now leads the team with five goals in all competitions after scoring four times in the Concacaf Champions Cup.
New England added two new faces to the mix last week, acquiring former MLS Cup champion defender Xavier Arreaga in a trade with Seattle and signing former Portland Timbers goalkeeper Aljaž Ivačič . Ivačič, who started 32 games for Portland in 2022, was forced to miss his first game with the team due to illness. Arreaga made his club debut in last week’s match against Inter Miami, playing 90 minutes at center back alongside Henry Kessler . Kessler, who made his 100 th appearance in all competitions on Saturday, has started the last eight consecutive MLS games for New England.
The Revolution received an added boost to the attack late in last Saturday’s contest when forward Dylan Borrero made his long-awaited return to action, nearly a year to the day after he suffered a season-ending knee injury in April 2023. Borrero, a 22-year-old Colombian international, played nine minutes in his first shift of the season as he works his way back to full fitness. The dynamic winger provides another weapon alongside Revolution talisman Carles Gil , who ranks second in MLS in shot-creating actions. Behind them in the defensive midfield, Matt Polster , who made 82 appearances for the Fire from 2015-18, is only 16 minutes away from eclipsing 15,000 minutes played for his MLS regular season career with New England and Chicago.
The Revolution hosted Chicago earlier this season on March 23, playing to a 1-1 draw in a rain-soaked matinee at Gillette Stadium. Saturday will mark New England’s 900 th MLS regular season match in club history and the 72 nd…
