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.
Manager Bradley Carnell's squad faces the worst start in club history, just one year after winning the Supporters' Shield and the Eastern Conference title under his leadership.
Will Sands' own goal staked Philadelphia to 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.
Following the match, Carnell expressed disappointment over conceding preventable goals and noted an apparent hyperextended elbow suffered by striker Milan Iloski amid fatigue concerns.
Three games remain before the World Cup break, beginning with a Wednesday match at Orlando City, followed by a home game against the Columbus Crew on Saturday.
