Edward Kizza makes MLS debut with Revolution

Pitt alum Edward Kizza made his Major League Soccer debut with the New England Revolution on Saturday night and helped his team to a 2-2 draw with Chicago Fire FC at Soldier Field.

Kizza saw limited action in his pro debut, as he came on in the 83rd minute as a substitute for Adam Buksa. However, he made the most of the opportunity, as he nearly scored, heading a shot off the Chicago crosssbar in the first shot attempt of his MLS career.

The Ugandan forward was selected by the Revolution with the 24th overall pick in the first round of the 2021 MLS draft in January.
