FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – New England Revolution II (10-5-5; 39 pts.; 2nd in East) are set to host New York Red Bulls II (10-6-4; 36 pts. 4th in East) on Sunday evening. The 6:00 p.m. ET match at Gillette Stadium streams live on MLSNEXTPro.com with Eric Duick calling the action.
Revolution II are coming off a 1-1 draw against Chicago Fire II last weekend where Homegrown midfielder Jack Panayotou tallied his third goal of the season on fellow Homegrown Peyton Miller’s third assist. Jake Rozhansky, Jacob Akanyirige, and Damian Rivera all tallied in the shootout, but Chicago walked away with the additional point from the match.
“I thought the guys competed well and traded a number of quality chances,” Head Coach Clint Peay said postgame. “Probably a little bit unlucky not to get the three points. I'd say in terms of the cohesion of the team and stuff, it was a little bit off based on the fact that we had five first teamers with us and we just weren't always on the same page, but overall decent performance, just needed to be better in front of the goal.”
New England enters the month of August after an undefeated July, going 2-0-2 through four matches. Miller owns two goals and one assist in the last three games, while forward Jordan Adebayo-Smith continues to lead his squad with eight goals and four assists on the season. Sunday’s match marks the third and final regular season meeting with New York, as New England is still in search of its first victory against Red Bulls II.
