Carles Gil Scores Two Late Goals as Revolution Extend Unbeaten Run to 7 with 2-1 Victory over Union
Gil scored the winner and added an assist as New England extended its unbeaten run to seven and handed Philadelphia another setback.
On Saturday night, the New England Revolution defeated the Philadelphia Union 2-1, with midfielder Carles Gil recording a goal and an assist to extend their unbeaten streak to seven matches.
The Philadelphia Union are struggling through the worst start in club history, just one year after manager Bradley Carnell led the team to the Supporters' Shield and Eastern Conference title.
Defender Will Sands' own goal gave Philadelphia a 1-0 lead in the 37th minute, but Luca Langoni equalized in the 61st minute before Gil scored the winner in the 87th minute.
Manager Bradley Carnell expressed frustration over conceding preventable goals, citing physical fatigue among attacking players and noting an apparent hyperextended elbow suffered by striker Milan Iloski.
Three games remain before the World Cup break, beginning with a match at Orlando City on Wednesday and followed by a home fixture against the Columbus Crew.
