FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (May 16, 2026) – The New England Revolution (8-4-1, 25 pts.) returned to the win column and second place in the Eastern Conference with a tightly contested 2-1 triumph over Western Conference opponent Minnesota United FC (6-5-3, 21 pts.) on Saturday night in front of 26,385 fans at Gillette Stadium.

The Revolution established an early 1–0 lead when captain Carles Gil converted a fifth‑minute penalty kick, but the visiting side pulled level in the 26th minute with their own goal from the spot. New England came out strong to start the second half with winger Luca Langoni delivering the game-winning goal five minutes after the intermission off an assist from striker Dor Turgeman.

The Revolution struck early, taking the lead inside the opening five minutes as Gil calmly converted from the penalty spot to make it 1–0. After Turgeman was fouled in the box, a video review awarded New England the chance from 12 yards. Gil stepped up and placed his shot into the right side of the net, marking the 20th penalty goal of his career, tied for eighth most in MLS history.

Despite New England’s early momentum, highlighted by Homegrown defender Peyton Miller’s promising headed effort on target in the 11th minute, Minnesota United equalized in the 26th minute, converting on its penalty‑kick opportunity. The penalty was awarded after midfielder Brooklyn Raines, making his 13th start of the year, was whistled for a foul inside the area.

The Revolution entered halftime level at 1–1 despite generating three dangerous looks on goal. Miller, who matched his MLS career high with four shots in tonight’s contest, created two additional scoring chances, while Turgeman saw an effort in first‑half stoppage time sail just wide of the left post.

Coming out of the break with renewed energy, New England wasted little time regaining the lead in the 49th minute. Turgeman and Langoni combined through the midfield, with the striker slipping a pass into Langoni's path. The Argentine took a driving touch toward goal and slotted home a low effort to reestablish New England’s lead. The finish gave Langoni goals in back-to-back appearances. He remains tied with Carles Gil for the team lead with nine goal contributions each.

Once again anchoring New England in goal, Matt Turner delivered late heroics to preserve the victory, making two massive saves in the final six minutes to keep the hosts ahead. Minnesota, one of few teams with more headed goals than New England this season, threatened with a pair of strong headers on frame in the 84th and 88th minutes, but Turner was up to the task on both occasions. The U.S. international finished the night with six saves, while the Revolution’s backline contributed three blocked shots.

The Revolution move back into second place through the end of Saturday's MLS action. New England will play one more match before MLS pauses for the FIFA World Cup, traveling south to face Charlotte FC next Saturday, May 23. The 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff at Bank of America Stadium airs on Apple TV in English and Spanish.
