Revolution Look to Reverse Fortunes After Toronto Heartbreak

The New England Revolution have hit a rough patch since returning from the World Cup break, winning just one of their five MLS outings (D2 L2) and slipping to fourth place in the Eastern Conference. Their most recent setback came in a 2-1 defeat to 10-man Toronto FC, a side that had not tasted victory in MLS since April.

The defeat was particularly cruel on the Revolution, who accumulated 2.3 expected goals (xG) from 24 shots compared to Toronto's meagre 0.24 from just three attempts. Despite dominating possession and chances, New England walked away empty-handed.

Reflecting on the performance, Mitrovic remained proud of his players' efforts while acknowledging that fine margins have gone against his side in recent weeks.
