New England Revolution claimed a hard-fought 1–0 home victory over D.C. United SC on Matchday 7 of the MLS regular season, thanks to a first-half winner from Alhassan Yusuf.
The decisive moment arrived in the 35th minute. Yusuf struck for the Revolution to break the deadlock, finishing off a move created by Dor Turgeman, who was credited with the assist. The goal gave New England a lead they successfully protected for the remainder of the contest.
Neither side found a way to alter the scoreline after the interval, with the match ultimately settled by Yusuf’s lone effort. No bookings were recorded in the official data, underlining a relatively clean encounter between the Eastern Conference rivals.
Both coaches turned to their benches in the second half. New England made the first change on 60 minutes, introducing Peyton Miller for Jackson Yueill in an effort to refresh the midfield. D.C. United responded simultaneously, sending on Louis Munteanu for Gabriel Pirani as they chased an equaliser.
The Revolution continued to adjust their attacking options, with Griffin Yow replacing Luca Langoni in the 73rd minute. D.C. United sought further attacking impetus in the closing stages, bringing on Gavin Turner for Brandon Servania on 74 minutes, followed by a late double change in the 87th minute as Jacob Murrell and Caden Clark entered for Jackson Hopkins and Lucas Bartlett.
New England made a final substitution on 90 minutes, withdrawing Miller for Eric Klein to help see out the result. Despite D.C. United’s late changes, the visitors were unable to find a breakthrough, and the match finished 1–0 in favour of the hosts.
