"Having scored just once across their opening two matchdays, New England turned on the style after Gerardo Valenzuela's 19th-minute opener. Brayan Ceballos netted a first-half brace, equalizing in the 25th minute before adding his second on the stroke of half-time after Dor Turgeman had put the Revs in front."
"They have now won after conceding the opening goal in MLS for the first time since October 2023, going 38 games without a win in such circumstances after that. The scoreline may still come as a surprise, though. The Revolution got their goals from just 1.88 expected goals (xG)."
New England Revolution achieved their first MLS victory of 2026 with a dominant 6-1 comeback win against FC Cincinnati. After struggling offensively with only one goal across their first two matches, the Revs exploded with attacking prowess. Gerardo Valenzuela opened scoring in the 19th minute, followed by Brayan Ceballos' first-half brace. Cincinnati's Valenzuela received a straight red card for a late challenge, giving New England a numerical advantage. The Revs capitalized with goals from Alhassan Yusuf, Griffin Yow, and Peyton Miller. Notably, this marked New England's first win after conceding the opening goal since October 2023, ending a 38-game winless streak in such situations.
