New England Revolution claimed a 1-0 victory over DC United in an MLS encounter where the visitors dominated possession and chance creation but failed to convert their superiority. DC United recorded 14 shots compared to New England's 11, and held a marginal expected goals advantage of 0.99 to 0.8, yet could not find the net despite four shots on target. Alhassan Yusuf's solitary goal proved decisive for the hosts, who operated in a 4-2-3-1 shape and benefited from their goalkeeper's 75 per cent save percentage to preserve a narrow margin. New England's goalkeeper conceded 0.85 post-shot expected goals, performing 0.15 goals above expectation—a modest but crucial contribution given the tightness of the contest. DC United's 4-4-2 formation generated attacking threat throughout but lacked the clinical finishing to punish their territorial dominance. Revolution's defensive resilience edges them ahead in the Eastern Conference standings.
