Read, Watch or Listen
Foxborough, Mass. Luca Langoni scored the go-ahead goal early in the second half as the New England Revolution defeated Minnesota United 2-1 on Saturday night at Gillette Stadium. Carles Gil opened the scoring with a fifth-minute penalty after Dor Turgeman was fouled by Minnesota defender Michael Boxall, and Kelvin Yeboah equalized with a 26th-minute spot kick following a foul by New England midfielder Brooklyn Raines on Anthony Markanich. Langoni converted in the 49th minute off Turgeman’s third assist of the campaign to give New England the lead. Matt Turner made six saves in goal for New England (8-4-1) while Drake Callender had three saves for Minnesota United (6-5-3). Langoni has eight goals through his first 50 appearances and matched his career best for a single season. The Revolution improved to 7-1-0 at home under first-year coach Marko Mitrović; the club had set a Gillette Stadium record with six straight wins before a 3-0 loss to Nashville SC on Wednesday. Minnesota had lost 1-0 to the Colorado Rapids and has gone 1-3-1 since a five-match unbeaten run.
