Both teams recorded road wins against the other last season, with the Revs recording a 5–0 road victory in July, equaling the largest winning margin in the club’s MLS history. It was also the largest victory away from home in team history.
Miami has just one point from its first five games in 2022. They’ve struggled on both sides of the field, scoring just three times, and conceding 13. The result, a minus-10 goal difference, is tied for the second worst through five games in MLS history (D.C. United: -11 in 2010).
The Revolution have lost three straight matches in a single season for the first time under Bruce Arena. Arena’s only four-match losing streak in his MLS career came in his first four matches in the league in 1996 with D.C. United. The last game in that streak was a breakaway shootout defeat after a 1–1 draw with New England, so Arena has never lost four consecutive games in regulation in his MLS career.
Gonzalo Higuaín has been involved in all three goals Miami has scored in MLS play this season. With just Higuaín and Leonardo Campana finding the net, Miami has the fewest different goalscorers in the league so far this season (2).
The Revolution made unwanted history on Saturday night, losing to the Red Bulls on a late own goal. Matt Polster’s own goal in the 90th minute was the first time in MLS history a team lost 1–0 with that lone goal being an 90th minute own goal.
