Gil Reaches 100 MLS Assists as Revolution Beat Red Bulls 3-2

Carles Gil recorded his 100th career MLS regular season assist on Wednesday night, and the New England Revolution beat Red Bull New York 3-2 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Gil set up Dor Turgeman for the opening goal in the ninth minute, and Daniel Gazdag scored the winner in the 83rd minute of a match New England led 2-0 and then let slip. The win was New England's fourth in a row.

A milestone only eight players have reached

Gil is just the eighth player in league history to reach 100 regular season assists, and the first to do it since Brad Davis in 2013. The assist was his 13th of the season. He reached 100 in 225 MLS appearances. Only Carlos Valderrama, who needed 156 appearances, Marco Etcheverry, who needed 182, and Preki, who needed 208, got there in fewer regular season appearances.

The all-time regular season assists list now reads Landon Donovan with 136, Steve Ralston with 135, Brad Davis with 123, Carlos Valderrama with 114, Preki with 112, Jaime Moreno with 102, Marco Etcheverry with 101 and Carles Gil with 100.

New England head coach Marko Mitrovic said: "Congratulations to Carles. It is a great achievement... he has earned and deserved these [achievements], and I am really happy for him."

Gil has led New England since arriving from Spanish side Deportivo La Coruna in 2019. He won the Landon Donovan MLS MVP award in 2021, and he now has 62 regular season goals to go with his 100 assists.

How the match turned

Turgeman scored again in the 46th minute, from a Luca Langoni cross, to make it 2-0. New York came back. Cade Cowell scored for the Red Bulls, and Julian Hall made it 2-2 in the 64th minute.

New England found the winner late. Gazdag slammed home a rebound in the 83rd minute after Peyton Miller's shot was parried by goalkeeper Ethan Horvath.

New York finished with more shots, 19 to 9, and more shots on target, 11 to 4. New England goalkeeper Matt Turner made eight saves to secure the win.

What it means in the East

The win took New England to 18 wins, 10 losses and 4 draws, on 58 points, second in the Eastern Conference and two points ahead of Miami. It guaranteed New England a top four finish in the East and home-field advantage in Round One of the Audi 2026 MLS Cup Playoffs, with two matches remaining.

The loss left the Red Bulls at 11 wins, 15 losses and 6 draws, on 39 points. New England leads the series between the clubs with 38 wins to 34 and 17 draws, and holds a 29-7-8 record at home in the series. Next, the Red Bulls play Sunday at Nashville, and the Revolution host Miami on Sunday.
