Gustavo Bou matched Adam Buksa for the team lead in goals with his fourth of the season in the 51st minute. Tajon Buchanan and DeJuan Jones each scored a goal and goaltender Matt Turner finished with four saves for the Revolution.

New England (7-1-2, 23 points) improved to 5-0-0 at home this season after also beating the Red Bulls 3-1 in their most recent home game May 22 in Foxborough, Mass.

Patryk Klimala had a goal in the 53rd minute and Andres Reyes scored in the 75th for the Red Bulls. Carlos Miguel Coronel made three saves for New York (4-5-0, 12 points), which remains winless on the road this season at 0-4-0.

The Red Bulls have lost six straight road matches overall, matching their longest road skid since 2017.

Buchanan opened the scoring in the 26th minute for New England. Gil split a couple of defenders with his pop-up pass and Buchanan right-footed the bouncing ball into the lower right corner of the net.

Jones doubled the Revolution lead six minutes later, taking a feed from Gil in the penalty box and using some fancy footwork to split two defenders and score into the lower left corner. Bou scored on a breakaway to make it 3-0, chipping his shot over Coronel into the right corner.

Klimala put the Red Bulls on the board two minutes after Bou's tally, taking a touch pass from the penalty arc and scoring low to Turner's left from the box. Reyes cleaned up a corner kick and scored into the lower left corner through traffic to make it a one-goal game in the 75th.

New York faces Atlanta United in the second of three straight matches away from home on Sunday. New England visits FC Dallas to open a quick two-game road trip on Sunday.
