FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (July 19, 2025) – The New England Revolution (6-10-7; 25 pts.) were defeated by Orlando City SC (10-6-8, 38 pts.), 2-1, on Saturday night in front of 24,954 fans at Gillette Stadium. Tomás Chancalay tallied his third goal of the regular season in the second half, with an assist from Ilay Feingold, but a pair of goals from Orlando forward Martín Ojeda proved to be the difference.
Orlando opened the scoring in the 18th minute when Eduard Atuesta lofted a ball over the top to Ojeda, who had slipped in behind New England's backline. Ojeda touched the ball around Revolution goalkeeper Aljaž Ivačič and calmly finished into an empty net.
Tomás Chancalay pulled New England level 10 minutes into the second half. The Argentine settled a long switch from Feingold, who made his return to the New England lineup after a three-match injury absence, before slotting his third goal of the season into the bottom-left corner past Orlando goalkeeper Pedro Gallese. Chancalay finished the night with two shots on target in his 45-minuteshift, while Feingold's helper was the fourth assist of his debut MLS campaign.
Ojeda put the visitors back in front in the 58th minute, roofing a shot over Ivačič from close range. New England continued to mount attacking pressure over the final half hour, with captain Carles Gil recording a game-high five key passes and four shot attempts. Gil will head to Austin next week to participate in the MLS All-Star Game after earning his fourth selection to the squad earlier this week.
