BOSTON, Mass. – The New England Revolution defeated D.C. United, 2-1, in the U.S. Open Cup Round of 16 at Harvard University's Jordan Field on Wednesday evening. With the win, New England advances to the Quarterfinal and will host the New York Red Bulls on July 13, at Jordan Field.

D.C. United's José Guillermo Ortiz opened scoring in the seventh minute shortly after Revolution forward Teal Bunbury hit woodwork on a right-footed shot at the near post. Diego Fagundez responded with an equalizer shortly before halftime with the first goal of his U.S. Open Cup career, careening a free kick from just beyond the18-yard box past the reach of D.C. United goalkeeper Travis Worra. On the other side of halftime, forward Brian Wright put New England ahead with his first professional goal, a right-footed shot from the left side of the penalty area that would prove to be the game winner.

New England returns to action on July 2 for a nationally televised MLS match on FS1 against the Philadelphia Union. The match kicks off at 5:00 p.m. ET and will also be broadcast locally on the radio in English on 98.5 The Sports Hub, where Brad Feldman and Paul Mariner will be on the call.
