In a rematch of their MLS Is Back Round of 16 matchup, the Union and New England Revolution played to a 0-0 draw. The Union allowed a single shot on frame the entire match.
Jim Curtin opted to trust the squad that performed so well in Orlando, but he was forced to make a change at left back with Kai Wagner nursing a minor injury. Matt Real, who had a strong start to 2020 before the season was put on hold, entered the first eleven.
In the first ten minutes, New England looked out for revenge, but Andre Blake looked as locked in as ever.
