FC Cincinnati defeated New England, 2-0, in the first meeting between the sides in March 2019, but New England has won the three league matches since by a combined score of 7-1. Adam Buksa scored three of the seven goals, including two in a 4-1 victory in the last meeting last August.
FC Cincinnati extended its club-record winning streak to four games with a 2-1 victory at Chicago on Saturday. With 19 points through 12 games, Cincinnati is one point away from equaling its points total from the entire 2021 season.
The Revolution’s 2-2 draw at Atlanta on Sunday was the sixth straight MLS game in which New England has scored twice. The six straight games with multiple goals equals a club record, though the Revs have managed just two wins in those six games (D2 L2).
Luciano Acosta, who scored the winning goal on Saturday against Chicago, has been involved in a goal in each of his last five MLS games (4 goals, 1 assist). No player in club history had gone more than three straight games with a goal contribution before Acosta’s run.
Adam Buksa, who scored both goals for New England on Sunday, has scored in five straight MLS matches, the longest streak by any player this season. Only two players in Revs history have scored in more than five straight regular season games: Wolde Harris (7) in 2000 and Taylor Twellman (6) in 2002.
