New England Revolution Faces Portland Timbers in Crucial Clash for Playoff Push
July 5, 2025
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.
