FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (July 25, 2026) – The New England Revolution (9-5-2, 29 pts.) collected a 4-1 triumph over Atlanta United FC (3-11-3, 12 pts) in front of 34,428 fans on Saturday night at Gillette Stadium.

The Revolution attack erupted for four goals, two in each half, as New England climbed into third place in the Eastern Conference. Forward Dor Turgeman and midfielders Carles Gil and Brooklyn Raines each turned in goal-and-assist performances, while Homegrown defender Peyton Miller added a finish of his own. Midfielder Alhassan Yusuf delivered two assists on the night, while Jackson Yueill also etched his name on the scoresheet with a helper.

The Revolution established control from the opening whistle, finding the breakthrough just 11 minutes into the match. Goalkeeper Matt Turner denied Atlanta’s shot on target, then immediately sparked the attack with a long throw to a streaking Turgeman, who switched play with a cross to Matt Polster. Polster, starting his second straight match at right back, settled the ball with his chest and laid it off to captain Gil, who juked his defender to set up a left-footed curler that nestled inside the far post for his sixth goal of the season.

After recording his fourth assist of the campaign on the opening goal, Turgeman added a tally of his own in the 36th minute. New England capitalized on a short corner kick, stringing together a sequence of passes before Raines slipped a ball into the path of Yusuf. The midfielder delivered a driven cross into the box, connecting with Turgeman who redirected the service off the near post and into the back of the net, giving him his second goal-and-assist outing in MLS this season.

Atlanta’s Miguel Almirón had back-to-back chances near the end of the half, first poking a ball past a charging Turner that ricocheted off the post, before uncorking a shot from distance that forced the Revolution goalkeeper into a diving save. The stop, one of six on the night for the U.S. international, helped preserve the Revolution’s 2-0 advantage heading into the locker room.

The Revolution stretched their advantage to 3–0 at the start of the second half, with Miller coolly depositing his fourth goal of the season. Gil, on his way to the 2026 MLS All-Star Game this coming Wednesday, linked with Yusuf on the left edge of the visitors’ 18‑yard box, where the Nigerian international whipped a low, driven ball across the face of goal. Miller, 18, met it in stride and calmly redirected the finish into the back of the net.

New England posted its fourth goal in the 67th minute, with Raines tallying his first in MLS play. The midfielder drove towards the center of Atlanta's box and slipped a pass to an open Yueill, who had entered as a 59th‑minute substitute. The pair worked a clean give‑and‑go and Raines showed no hesitation, stepping onto the return ball and slotting his shot into the back of the net.

Atlanta United pulled one back with five minutes remaining in regulation. The visitors weaved through the Revolution's defense, working the ball to Almirón. The Paraguay international slotted his shot past a fully extended Turner to cut into the deficit, but the hosts were able to close out the remaining minutes to seal all three points.

The Revolution are on the road next weekend, traveling to CF Montréal on Saturday, August 1. The 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff at Stade Saputo is available to watch on Apple TV in English, Spanish, and French.
