New England Revolution Faces Portland Timbers in Crucial Clash for Playoff Push
  • Tonight at 10:30 p.m., the New England Revolution will face off against Portland Timbers FC at Providence Park, marking their first visit to Portland since the 2022 season opener.

  • The Revolution are looking to build on their momentum from a historic 3-3 draw against Colorado last weekend, where they made a remarkable comeback.

  • This draw was particularly significant as it marked the first time in club history that the Revolution overcame a three-goal deficit to earn a point.

  • Currently sitting 11th in the Eastern Conference, the Revolution are just four points shy of the playoff line, with two games in hand that could help their qualification efforts.

  • Forward Maxi Urruti, who scored the game-tying goal in stoppage time last week, discussed the match and previewed tonight's game on 'The Soccer Show'.

  • Urruti, a 12-year MLS veteran, has a personal connection to Portland, having played for the Timbers from 2013 to 2015 and being part of the team that won the MLS Cup in 2015.

  • He expressed his fondness for Portland, noting the passionate fans and the unique pressure that comes with playing there.

  • Tonight's match kicks off a busy July for New England, which includes six matches over a 20-day span, highlighted by an upcoming game against Inter Miami CF and star player Lionel Messi.

  • Urruti emphasized the importance of teamwork, pressing, and playing short to create scoring opportunities, as the team aims for playoff qualification and the MLS Cup.
