LITTLE FALLS, N.J. (Aug. 1, 2026) - New England Revolution II (9-4-6; 36 pts.) travel for an away match at Red Bull New York II (9-7-4; 32 pts.) on Sunday, August 2. The 5:00 p.m. ET kickoff at MSU Soccer Park streams on MLSNEXTPro.com and OneFootball, with Philip Galati on the call.
Revolution II enter the weekend riding a three‑game unbeaten run after a busy slate last week, highlighted by a 3‑0 win over New York City FC II on July 23. Last Sunday, Revolution II hit the road and battled FC Cincinnati 2 to a 2-2 draw, but the home side ultimately claimed the extra point in the penalty shootout. New England has been especially sharp on the road this season, posting a 3‑1‑3 record, with its only loss coming back in April.
Midfielder Carlos Zambrano has emerged as one of New England’s most dangerous attacking threats, contributing to the scoring in six of his last eight appearances. The 21‑year‑old Venezuelan has also found the back of the net in his last two outings. Zambrano delivered a highlight‑reel strike against NYCFC II, earning a nomination for Goal of the Matchweek 21, before adding another tally at Cincinnati, where he forced a turnover and finished the unassisted effort.
Zambrano leads the team with nine goal contributions this season (5g, 4a), recently surpassing forward/winger Myles Morgan. The Canada native has been a consistent attacking force in 2026, pacing the squad with seven goals while adding one assist. New England owns a 3-1-3 mark this season when Morgan finds the back of the net.
Defender Gabe Dahlin also etched his name on the scoresheet at Cincinnati, opening his professional account with a 15th‑minute equalizer, his fourth goal contribution of the year. The Swedish center back leads the team with 1,350 minutes played and is tied for third with 11 clearances, trailing fellow center back Jake Shannon (24) and midfielder Javaun Mussenden (13). Dahlin and Shannon have helped Revolution II to seven clean sheets, tied for third‑most in MLS NEXT Pro. The defensive duo have also been central to helping New England limit opponents to a league‑low 66 shots against, while conceding the third‑fewest goals (22).
Academy product Logan Azar and Homegrown midfielder Cristiano Oliveira earned assists on Dahlin’s goal. Azar made his third straight start in midfield on July 26, completing 100 percent of his passes while adding his first professional assist. The following day, the 16‑year‑old traveled to Charlotte, N.C. for the 2026 MLS NEXT All‑Star Game, where he earned a start and logged another helper in his 45‑minute shift. Oliveira’s assist marked his fourth of the season, tying the team lead.
Revolution II will be without Mussenden on Sunday, as the Academy graduate is competing in the 2026 Under-20s Concacaf Championship with the United States Under-19s National Team. The Georgia native has already made two appearances at the tournament, logging 19 minutes against Haiti’s Under‑20s squad on July 25, and adding 21 minutes on July 28 against El Salvador’s Under‑20 team.
New England faces Eastern Conference rival Red Bull New York II for the third time this season, seeking its first win at MSU Soccer Park in team history. In their most recent encounter, Revolution II claimed a 2-1 home victory over Red Bull II through goals from Morgan and Mussenden on June 14. New York’s attack is headlined by Dennis Nelich, who leads the team with six goals, and Dennis Gjengaar, who is tied for third in the league with seven assists. Defensively, Aimar Sánchez anchors New York's backline, ranking third in MLS NEXT Pro with 33 clearances.
