New England Revolution News Release


FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The New England Revolution and Real Salt Lake (pronounced ray-AHL) will meet in a Major League Soccer showdown at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 2 at Gillette Stadium. Saturday's match is the first of two meetings between the teams this season.

New England (5-2-2, 17 pts.) leads the all-time series with the third-year club, 2-1-1. Khano Smith and Taylor Twellman have both scored two goals apiece against RSL, while Jay Heaps has recorded two assists in the teams' four prior meetings. Saturday's game is New England's second in a four-game homestand that spans the month of June.

Real Salt Lake (0-3-5, 5 pts.) is making its first visit to Foxborough under the direction of new head coach Jason Kreis, who retired from RSL's active roster on May 3 as MLS' all-time leading goal scorer.
