Here is a sampling of this week’s local coverage looking back on the midweek thriller in Atlanta and ahead to today’s Eastern Conference clash in New York. 

Carles Gil earned MLS Player of the Matchday honors for the second time in his career after rescuing a point in Atlanta with goals in the first and last minute of the match.

After an adductor injury prematurely ended Bobby Wood’s 2022 season with Real Salt Lake, the former Bundesliga striker’s hard work to return is paying off as he is now thriving as a regular in New England’s starting lineup. Wood looks to extend his two-game scoring streak today in the Bronx. 

Bruce Arena called the Revolution fortunate to walk out of Atlanta with a point on the week after Gil’s late equalizer salvaged the draw. New England will need its best effort to take down an NYCFC side in desperate need of three points.
