FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution (2-5-1, 7 pts.) defeated the New York Red Bulls, 1-0, at Gillette Stadium on Saturday evening. Cristian Penilla scored the game's lone goal in the 73rd minute, when he beat Red Bulls goalkeeper Luis Robles with a right-footed shot inside of the near post.
Newcomers Juan Fernando Caicedo and Carles Gil were credited with the assists on Penilla's game-winning goal. The assist was Caicedo's first in MLS, while Gil now owns two helpers on his debut campaign stateside. Gil's five combined goals and assists are the third most among all league newcomers this season, trailing only Toronto's Alejandro Pozuelo and Orlando's Nani.
