SMITHFIELD, R.I. (March 8, 2026) – New England Revolution II (0-0-2, 4 pts.) dueled Toronto FC II (0-1-1, 1 pt.) to a 0-0 draw on Sunday night at Beirne Stadium, claiming an additional point with a 7-6 penalty shootout victory. New England ended the night outshooting the Canadian side, 20-10, with a 6-3 advantage in shots on target. Goalkeeper J.D. Gunn recorded his first clean sheet of the season, the fourth of his MLS NEXT Pro career.

Midfielder Judah Siqueira, an Easton, Mass. native, nearly opened the scoring in the 33rd minute through a set piece opportunity. The 16-year-old Academy product struck a shot on frame, forcing Toronto's goalkeeper Zakaria Nakhly to punch the ball over the crossbar. Siqueira, who signed his first professional contract on Thursday, logged two shots, with one on target, across a 90-minute shift tonight.

Moments later, forward/winger Myles Morgan showed promise in the attack, tallying a shot on net, but it was deflected by the visiting goalkeeper. Homegrown defender Damario McIntosh rounded out the first half chances for New England in the 41st minute, redirecting a header to the upper-left corner of the net off a lofted cross from defender Schinieder Mimy. McIntosh and Mimy both earned their second straight starts on the flanks, while Chris Mbai-Assem and Jake Shannon, who logged 90 minutes in his professional debut tonight, anchored the central defense.

Homegrown midfielder Cristiano Oliveira provided a dangerous opportunity in the 57th minute, firing a shot from inside the box that ricocheted off the right post. In second-half stoppage time, fellow midfielder Allan Oyirwoth tested Toronto's goalkeeper with a curling effort, but Nakhly made a diving save to keep the hosts off the scoresheet. Oyirwoth, a 19-year-old Uganda international, led Revolution II's attack tonight with five shot attempts. In net for New England, Gunn registered two saves in regulation time, and added a pair of stops in the ensuing penalty shootout.

Revolution II will resume their five-game homestand next Sunday, March 15, welcoming FC Cincinnati 2 to Bryant University's Beirne Stadium. The match kicks off at 1:00 p.m. ET, streaming live on MLSNEXTPro.com and the OneFootball platform, with James Hadnot calling the action.
