Revolution run reaches four straight shutouts, as Carles Gil, Leo Campana put away reeling Toronto
The hungry Reds had the better of the action for much of the first 20 minutes Saturday, but another brilliant play from Gil broke through in the 11th. Matt Polster captured a lazy pass in the midfield, the ball cycling through Campana to wing back Ilay Feingold, who blitzed Toronto up the right side throughout the first half.

Keeping ahead of the pressure from Alonso Coello, he drove a right foot toward Campana in the penalty area. Toronto's Nicksoen Gomis attempted to head it away, but instead sent it into the path of Gil, who redirected it into the top corner of the net from the edge of the penalty area.

It was Gil's fifth goal of the season, all in the last six matches.
Campana doubled the lead in the 27th minute, a quick New England counterattack catching Toronto with just two men at the back. Alhassan Yusuf, with space in the middle of the field, fed out wide to Campana, who took two touches and fired across and under Toronto goalie Sean Johnson into the side netting.

Johnson was all that kept the Revolution from a truly lopsided win, denying Gil from close range on a 32nd-minute rebound and Ignatius Ganago in first-half stoppage time, following a superb pass from Gil and deft ballhandling from Feingold.
The Israeli had arguably New England's best chance to add on after halftime, Campana and Gil feeding left to right, only for Johnson to deny again. The second, however, was about keeping Toronto at bay. The hosts looked much like the early season Revolution as they cycled the ball around outside the penalty area, but were unable to create many dangerous chances.
New England plays twice next week, beginning with a round-of-32 match in the US Open Cup. Following that Wednesday night visit to Rhode Island FC — which opened its Centerville Bank Stadium in Pawtucket on Saturday afternoon with a scoreless draw in the USL Championship — the Revolution visit Orlando City on Saturday night.

The Major League Soccer club announced Wednesday that it has acquired 21-year-old defender Efraín Morales from Atlanta United in return for US$450,000 in 2025 general allocation money (GAM) and $350,000 in conditional GAM. Atlanta would also retain a percentage of a future transfer involving Morales The move came hours after club executives published an open letter to fans that acknowledged the team's shortcomings and stated the club would begin a new chapter rooted in ambition, pride and winning. President and CEO Gabriel Gervais, managing director of recruitment and sporting methodology Luca Saputo and managing director of academy strategy and roster management Simone Saputo signed the letter. Montreal is currently languishing at the bottom of the MLS with a 3-15-6 record — for 15 points in 24 games — and dropped out of the Canadian Championship with a quarterfinal loss to lower-tier Forge FC of the Canadian Premier League in a bleak season. The letter said supporters would see concrete steps toward a rebuild in the upcoming transfer windows. The MLS summer window, which allows clubs to sign players plying their trades in other countries, opens Thursday. Montreal had the league's lowest payroll last season. Morales is making $112,019 this year, according to the website . Morales began his professional career in 2020 with Atlanta United 2, where he had three goals and an assist over three USL Championship seasons and three MLS Next Pro seasons. He made his MLS debut with Atlanta in a 3-0 victory over the Charlotte Independence in the fourth round of the U.S. Open Cup on May 7, 2024. Over two MLS seasons, Morales has played 648 minutes over nine games and picked up one assist. He also played in three U.S. Open Cup games. Born in Decatur, Ga., Morales represents Bolivia on the international stage. Full letter: 'We have not met the standards we set for ourselves, nor those you have the right to expect. That is why we felt the need to communicate with you directly today. We share your dissatisfaction with the Club's results, and it is our responsibility to build a winning team that we can all be proud of. That is why we have decided to undertake a rebuild and launch a new chapter at CF Montréal. A chapter based on ambition and pride. A new era with victory at the heart of our sporting ambitions, while also honouring our rich history and the connection with you, our 12th player. We know that trust is regained through actions.
