Toronto FC II (10W-10L-5T, 36 points) dropped a 2-1 road result against the New England Revolution II (11W-5L-7T, 45 points) on Friday afternoon at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
TFC II Head Coach Gianni made five changes from the side that started in the win against New York City FC II on August 31 with Lazar Stefanovic, Malik Henry, Lucas Olguin, Markus Cimermancic and Dékwon Barrow making way for Reid Fisher, Micah Chisholm, Patrick McDonald, Michael Sullivan and Jahmarie Nolan.
New England Revolution II opened the scoring in the 24th minute when Damorney Hutchinson fired into the roof of the net from close-range after Adisa De Rosario had saved Malcolm Fry initial’s attempt.
The hosts doubled their advantage soon after the restart, as Gevork Diarbian coolly finished a slipped pass from Marcos Dias in the 56th minute.
Ten minutes later, coach Cimini turned to his bench, bringing on Costa Iliadis and Dékwon Barrow in place of Mark Fisher and Jahmarie Nolan in search of an attacking spark.
Within two minutes of entering the match, Barrow drew a foul from Gabriel Dahlin inside the box, leaving the referee with an easy decision to point to the penalty spot.
Patrick McDonald stepped up for the Young Reds and calmly converted from the spot, firing straight down the middle to cut the deficit to one.
The 69th minute strike marked the former Indiana Hoosier midfielder’s second goal for TFC II and the club’s first penalty goal of the 2025 MLS NEXT Pro season.
The Young Reds pushed for an equalizer for the rest of the afternoon and found the net in the 94th minute through Dékwon Barrow, only to denied by the linesman’s offside flag, as Revs II held on for all three points.
