The New England Revolution battled Chicago Fire FC to a 2-2 draw in their final match of the 2025 MLS regular season, with 36,432 fans in attendance at Gillette Stadium.

New England began the MLS decision day contest with a goal only 44 seconds into the match. Yusuf intercepted a loose touch by a Chicago defender and chipped a shot past goalkeeper Chris Brady for his second tally of the season.

Yusuf was one of two Revolution players to appear in all 34 games this season, along with Carles Gil, the 2025 Revolution Team MVP and Golden Boot winner.

Late in the match, Chicago fought back to equalize on Philip Zinckernagel’s goal in the 82nd minute, a close-range shot over Turner’s head.

The Revolution reclaimed the lead in the sixth minute of stoppage time, as Turgeman got his head on the end of Gil’s free kick to put New England ahead 2-1.

With the goal, Turgeman became the 10th MLS player, and the first Revolution player, to score in each of his first three matches. Nine minutes into second-half stoppage time, Chicago concluded the scoring with an own goal credited to Turgeman.
