After a nearly five-month hiatus, New England Revolution II returned to action. After spending their first two seasons in USL League One, Revolution II kicked off their first match in the newly formed MLS NEXT Pro as they faced New York City FC II at Belson Stadium.
Revolution SuperDraft selection Jacob Jackson made his first appearance with the organization as he started the match in goal. In front of Jackson was the backline quartet of new additions José Ítalo, Ben Reveno, and Trevor Zwetsloot, alongside a returning Sean O’Hearn. Hikaru Fujiwara, Jake Rozhansky, and Michel formed the midfield as the trio of Damian Rivera, Esmir Bajraktarevic, and Meny Silva filled out the attack.
