New England Revolution News Release
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution (2-9-1; 7 pts.) will host New York City FC (7-5-2; 23 pts.) on Saturday night at Gillette Stadium, when the club will celebrate its first annual Asian American and Pacific Islanders Night. The 7:30 p.m. kickoff is available to watch on MLS Season Pass 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. Portuguese commentary is available on 1260 AM “Nossa Radio USA”.
New England enters Saturday’s match with a 10-8-6 all-time record against New York City FC, including a 6-2-3 home mark. The Revolution have battled their I-95 rivals evenly over the last six encounters, posting a 2-2-2 record dating back to 2021. New York City FC carries a three-game winning streak into this weekend’s meeting and holds a 6-1-0 record over its last seven matches. Uruguayan midfielder Santiago Rodríguez is pacing New York’s attack with a team-best five goals and four assists this season.
The Revolution fell to the Philadelphia Union, 3-0, last weekend in the opening match of the two-game homestand. New England will play most of its upcoming games on its home field, with five of the next seven matches at home. The Revolution were forced to play down a man for more than 75 minutes after an early red card was issued to defender Ryan Spaulding. Goalkeeper Aljaž Ivačič registered a season-high seven saves in his home debut for New England, continuing the Slovenian’s steady start with the club through his first three starts. Last weekend’s match also featured the return of defender DeJuan Jones, who appeared off the bench for his first appearance back after a four-game injury absence.
New England’s attack will benefit from the return of forward Tomás Chancalay, the team’s leading scorer in 2024 with six goals in all competitions, who missed last Saturday’s match due to yellow card accumulation. Chancalay has found the scoresheet in each of his last three games, with two goals and one assist. He will look to combine with winger Dylan Borrero, who suited up for his first start of 2024 last weekend, playing 50 minutes. The 22-year-old Colombian, who appeared on the MLS 22 Under 22 list last season, is set to record his 25 th MLS appearance on Saturday.
