New EnglandAssist during first start
Zambrano assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 4-1 victory versus Atlanta United.
Analysis: Zambrano earned his first start for the Revs in only his fourth appearance for the team and would put it to good use, as the forward earned an assist on Brooklyn Raines 67th minute goal. This is not only the first assist of his MLS career but also his first goal contribution. This should give the forward plenty more confidence, likely to earn him more time as well.
Joins Revolution permanently
Zambrano has become a permanent Revolution player after New England exercised the trade option built into his loan agreement, the club announced.
Analysis: Zambrano initially arrived in New England on loan from Real Salt Lake in March and has scored one goal in four total appearances since, including his MLS debut on May 13 against Nashville SC. He also started both of the Revolution's Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup matches in April, scoring his first senior goal against Orlando City on April 29. Before that stretch, he had been productive for Real Salt Lake's MLS NEXT Pro affiliate, Real Monarchs, with three goals in his first four appearances of 2026 after five goals in nine games to close out 2025. The Ecuadorian-American forward came up through the Philadelphia Union academy after his family moved to the U.S. in 2020, and also spent two-and-a-half seasons in Portugal with Benfica B and Vitoria Guimaraes B. He already has ties to his new head coach Marko Mitrović, having played under him at the 2025 U-20 World Cup, where he scored once in five matches for the U.S. He has 27 total appearances and eight goals across the U.S. U19 and U20 setups, after previously representing Ecuador at U15 and U17 level.
