FOXBOROUGH, MASS. – The New England Revolution (9-12-5; 32 pts.) defeated Orlando City SC (8-12-7; 31 pts.), 4-0, before a crowd of 17,865 at Gillette Stadium on Saturday evening. Forward Kei Kamara registered the first hat trick of his MLS career and midfielder Lee Nguyen added four assists as New England picked up its third consecutive home shutout and three critical points.

Kamara's first goal of the match was the 100^th overall tally of his MLS career including the postseason. He is only the 12^th player in league history to join the triple-digit club. Kamara's regular season career total now stands at 97, which ranks 10^th in MLS regular season history. Kamara's hat trick is the 10^th in club history and the first since Zack Schilawski on April 10, 2010 against Toronto FC.

Nguyen was credited with assists on all four Revolution goals tonight, tying a MLS record and setting the new club mark for assists in a single game. The midfielder moves into a tie with Toronto FC's Victor Vazquez for the MLS lead in assists with 14, which is also a new career high. Since the beginning of 2015, Nguyen ranks third in MLS with 34 helpers.

In second-half stoppage time, forward Teal Bunbury scored his sixth goal in New England's last seven games. Bunbury's goal was assisted by the Revs' newest signing Krisztián Németh, who entered the match – and made his Revolution debut – one minute earlier.

New England returns to action next Saturday, Sept. 9, when it will host the Montreal Impact at Gillette Stadium. The match kicks off at 7:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast locally on CSN New England, where Brad Feldman, Paul Mariner, and Naoko Funayama will be on the call. Fans may also listen on the radio in English on 98.5 The Sports Hub and in Portuguese on 1570 WMVX Nossa Radio.
