New England (5-4-4, 19 points) had a strong first half with Carles Gil setting up a pair of goals to take a 2-0 lead. Advertisement In the 14th minute, Gil slotted a nice pass to Ganago to the left of the goal, and he centered a pass along the ground and Tomás Chancalay had the inside track to the ball against his defender and slid to redirect it in. It was the first regular-season start for Chancalay, who was the lone change to the starting lineup from The Argentinian forward is getting back into form after partially tearing his right ACL against NYCFC on May 25, 2024, and having surgery over the summer.

Miller's low cross intended for Alhassan Yusuf was deflected into the net by SKC defender Jacob Bartlett for an own goal.

Dániel Sallói got the hosts on the board in the 53rd minute with his fifth goal of the season on a rebound of a shot from Bartlett. Another big rebound led to Sporting Kansas City pulling level with Revolution defender Mamadou Fofana pulling down Dejean Joveljic in the box, resulting in a penalty kick.

Revolution offense appears, as Leo Campana, Ignatius Ganago each score first in shutout of NYCFC
Again playing the two-striker arrangement Porter debuted in 'Thought we should've scored more than two,' Porter declared postgame. Advertisement Campana's pressure specifically continued to create chances, with the breakthrough coming in the 43rd minute. Alhassan Yusuf controlled a long clear in the center circle, finding Campana — who started for the first time since injuring his hamstring March 8 — just outside the penalty area. Campana ran a quick give-and-go with Ganago, pushing a left footer toward goal that hit sliding New York defender Justin Haak and popped past goalkeeper Matt Freese. Advertisement Ganago's goal came three minutes into the second half. Gil, after a short corner, created space despite pressure from New York's Jonathan Shore and sent a left-footed cross screaming toward the goal mouth. Ganago, who'd gone scoreless in his prior 27 matches dating to June 2023 with France's FC Nantes, drove the net and redirected it past Freese. Ignatius Ganago extends the lead! — New England Revolution (@NERevolution) Gil's assist was his 74th in the regular season for New England, breaking a tie with Steve Ralston for the club record. His 79 (including playoffs) since the start of 2019 are the most in Major League Soccer. The Revolution's defense more than made it stand up, limiting New York (3-4-2, 11 points) to a pair of late shots on Aljaz Ivacic for the keeper's second straight shutout. New England did, however, see midfielder Peyton Miller limp off with a right leg injury in the second half following another strong performance. (The 17-year-old — whose high school graduation the team celebrated during the week — has consistently battled injuries, and missed the season's first four matches with a groin issue.) Center back Mamadou Fofana, a key part of the rebuilt back line, also was replaced in the waning minutes following a visit from a trainer. The Revolution play their next three matches away from Foxborough, with a visit to East-leading Charlotte FC on Saturday night.
