The Revolution came from behind to edge Minnesota United in a tightly contested affair at Gillette Stadium. After a level first half, New England found another gear after the break to secure a 2-1 victory. Luca Langoni was the standout performer, his tireless running and creativity earning him the official Man of the Match award. Minnesota had their chances and pressed hard throughout, registering more corners and shots on target, but couldn't quite find the breakthrough when it mattered. It was the kind of scrappy, competitive match that defines MLS on any given Sunday. Both sides had genuine opportunities, with Minnesota enjoying the better possession stats and forcing the issue in the final stages. But the hosts held firm to claim three points and move up the standings. For the visitors, it's a frustrating result given how much of the match they controlled, though they'll take some encouragement from their attacking threat.
