Rhode Island and New England Revolution B played out a nine-goal thriller, with the visitors edging a 5-4 victory in an International Club Friendly on January 29, 2026. In a remarkable match defined by attacking abandon, New England Revolution's second team just prevailed in a back-and-forth contest that saw little emphasis on defense. The result highlights the offensive potential within the MLS club's academy ranks, even if defensive solidity was lacking. For Rhode Island, scoring four goals at home is a positive, but conceding five will be a major concern for their coaching staff. This friendly served up fantastic entertainment for neutrals and a plethora of learning points for both teams.
