Sounders Beat Revolution 3-0 in MLS Match at Gillette Stadium

Seattle Sounders defeated New England Revolution 3-0 in an MLS match on October 10 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, extending their unbeaten run with goals from Dejan Joveljic and Paul Arriola after entering the game on an eight-match unbeaten streak.

According to Sounders FC, the team entered the match after a 2-1 win over Sporting Kansas City on October 1, a result that pushed its unbeaten stretch to eight games with three wins and five draws.

Sounder at Heart reported that Seattle was seeking its fourth consecutive victory of the season and had climbed from 14th to seventh in the Western Conference during the unbeaten run, sitting three points from sixth place.

Joveljic returned to the starting lineup after missing three matches while representing Serbia on international duty, according to Sounders FC. Center back Yeimar also made his first start since March 7 after recovering from injuries.

The match remained scoreless for New England until Sounders forward Dejan Joveljic scored in the second half, with Paul Arriola later adding another goal. Marca's match report recorded Seattle's third goal from Arriola after a fast break assisted by Jesus Ferreira.

Seattle also received a starting contribution from homegrown winger Sebastian Gomez, who made his fifth MLS start of the campaign. Sounders FC reported that the 20-year-old had recorded two goals and four assists in 783 minutes during his debut First Team season.

New England entered the match as the second-place team in the Eastern Conference, according to Sounder at Heart, after missing the playoffs in each of the previous two seasons. The Revolution were led by Carles Gil with 12 goals and four assists, while goalkeeper Matt Turner had prevented 9.0 goals.

The Revolution created several chances, including attempts from Carles Gil, Peyton Miller, Joshua Wynder and Judah Siqueira, but Seattle goalkeeper Andrew Thomas made saves and the defense limited the hosts from scoring, according to Marca's live match updates.

Sounder at Heart noted that the game began a difficult closing stretch for Seattle, with five of its final seven matches scheduled against teams in playoff positions. The club also entered the contest with 99 road wins in its MLS era, the most in the league since 2009.
