Super Eagles midfielder Alhassan Yusuf delivered a commanding display as New England Revolution recorded a historic\u00a0win over Philadelphia Union,\u00a0Soccernet.ng<\/u><\/a>\u00a0reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n The\u00a0Revs extended their\u00a0winning run at home\u00a0to six matches\u00a0following their 2-1 win over Philly on Saturday, setting a new club record for their best-ever start at home in a\u00a0Major League Soccer season.<\/p>\n The result also eclipsed the previous record set in 2021, when the Revs won five consecutive home games on their way to\u00a0winning\u00a0the Supporters\u2019\u00a0Shield\u00a0title. It also\u00a0ended their frustrating run against Philadelphia,\u00a0marking their first win in the tie since 2023.<\/p>\n New England\u00a0Revolution entered\u00a0the clash\u00a0unbeaten in six MLS games, but history was not on their side after losing each of their previous six meetings against Philadelphia Union.<\/p>\n Ahead of the game,\u00a0Nigerian midfielder Alhassan Yusuf,\u00a0who has grown into one of the Revs\u00a0most influential players since arriving at the club in 2024,\u00a0had challenged his teammates to\u00a0keep their heads high and maintain focus.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it’s great that we’ve been on this winning streak [at home], but the most important thing is being relentless, never satisfied, as we always say. We just have to keep going\u201d,\u00a0Y<\/u>usuf said<\/u>, via The Blazing Musket.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u201cRelentless is a word that we keep repeating, because the game is 90-plus minutes. It’s not about playing 20 or 45 minutes, you have to play from the beginning until the end.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n The Revs responded exactly as demanded, ending their losing run against Philly and setting a new club-record in the process.<\/p>\n Despite their bright start, the hosts fell behind in the 37th minute after Will Sands inadvertently\u00a0put\u00a0the ball into his own net past former Arsenal goalkeeper Matt Turner.<\/p>\n Philadelphia nearly doubled their advantage moments later, but a crucial goal-line clearance from Mamadou Fofana kept the Revolution alive in the contest.<\/p>\n The home side\u00a0then started to assert their dominance on the game\u00a0and found their\u00a0equalizer\u00a0in the 61st minute through Luca Langoni.<\/p>\n With the match appearing destined for a draw,\u00a0Carles Gil,\u00a0who had created the first goal, then\u00a0stepped up to score the winner late on and complete a memorable comeback for the Revolution.<\/p>\n Alhassan\u00a0Yusuf produced another\u00a0impressive performance as he anchored New England\u00a0Revolution\u2019s midfield\u00a0throughout the encounter.\u00a0The 25-year-old made his eighth league start of the season and was a dominant presence in midfield, helping the Revolution control the tempo during key periods of the game.<\/p>\n The\u00a0Nigerian midfielder completed 88%\u00a0of his passes, registered two interceptions and six recoveries, while\u00a0he also attempted\u00a0five passes into the final third.<\/p>\n![\"Soccer](\"https:\/\/soccernet.ng\/thumbor\/qRMlMAXg9PTU5XK3S-1xI-DrK4U=\/4749x3166\/smart\/https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.soccernet.ng%2Fmain%2F2026%2F05%2F229EC766-DE06-412C-A0CE-299F2ADE9E5E.jpeg\")
