New EnglandFive chances created in defeat
Gil registered two shots (zero on goal), nine crosses (one accurate) and nine corners in Saturday's 2-0 loss against Houston Dynamo.
Analysis: Gil was New England's most active creative presence in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Houston, delivering nine corners and creating five chances across his 90 minutes as the player responsible for virtually all of his side's set-piece output, also registering two shots as the Revolution pushed for an equalizer that never arrived. The Spanish captain has now scored seven goals and contributed three assists across 18 MLS appearances this season, but Saturday's performance was a reminder that his creativity alone cannot compensate for a team that has struggled to convert opportunities and defend set-pieces effectively during a difficult run of form.
Breaks deadlock in draw
Gil scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-2 draw against CF Montreal.
Analysis: Gil broke the deadlock for the Revs with a perfect penalty late in the first half. Despite featuring in the 2026 MLS All-Star Game on Wednesday, July 29, the playmaker didn't have problems making an impact here as well. Gil has been one of the best players for the Revs this season, tallying 10 goal contributions (seven goals, three assists) in 17 league outings while playing the full 90 in all but two of those contests.
Nets opening goal
Gil scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 4-1 win against Atlanta United.
Analysis: Gil would only take one shot Saturday, but that was enough to find the back of the net, scoring in the 11th minute for the opening goal. This is his sixth goal of the season as he leads the team, with four goals in his past seven appearances. He also has a solid three assists, working towards the 19 goal contributions he earned last season.
One shot on target vs Toronto
Gil had four shots (one on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 0-0 draw versus Toronto FC.
Analysis: Gil returned from the World Cup break on Wednesday, recording one shot on target from four attempts in the draw against Toronto. He has remained a key contributor to New England's attack this season, tallying five goals and three assists in 15 appearances. While he has not quite matched the peak form of previous years, the midfielder continues to be a vital part of the starting XI, particularly due to his consistency and ability to stay healthy throughout the season.
Breaks the deadlock from the spot
Gil scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), seven crosses (three accurate) and six corners in Saturday's 2-1 win against Minnesota United.
Analysis: Gil played a decisive role in Saturday's 2-1 win over Minnesota, stepping up to convert a penalty into the bottom-left corner past Drake Callender in the first half after Dor Turgeman was pulled down by Michael Boxall, delivering his fifth goal of the season in the kind of composed, high-pressure moment that defines him as his side's captain. The Spanish playmaker, operating as the creative hub and linking play between midfield and attack, is an indispensable figure for his team. Gil has now scored five goals and registered three assists across 13 MLS appearances this season, leading the Revolution in goals scored this campaign.
Kept in check by Nashville
Gil took zero shots, took five corners, and sent in five crosses in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to Nashville SC.
Analysis: Gil was kept in check by a stout Nashville defense, failing to make an impact on the scoresheet for the first time in six appearances. Before Wednesday, Gil registered four goals and two assists in his previous five games. He'll look to start a new streak at home against Minnesota United on Saturday.
Scores and assists
Gil scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and three chances created in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Philadelphia Union.
Analysis: Gil was instrumental in Saturday's 2-1 comeback win over Philadelphia Union, first setting up Luca Langoni's equalizer in the second half by recycling a blocked corner and feeding his teammate to curl home, then sealing all three points late in the second half with an unassisted finish of his own. The Spanish captain operated as the creative hub throughout, generating the sequences that led to both his side's goals and providing the leadership needed to turn around a match his side had been losing at halftime, while adding three key passes and five corners. Gil has recorded three assists and four goals across 11 MLS appearances this season.
Penalty successfully converted
Gil scored one goal to go with five shots (two on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 1-0 win over Charlotte FC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 98th minute.
Analysis: A late foul gifted Gil a penalty kick, which the attacking midfielder successfully converted, proving why he remains New England's spot-kick taker. The 33-year-old's form is red-hot, backed by three goals and one assist over his last four appearances.
Nets opener
Gil scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Inter Miami CF.
Analysis: Gil opened the scoring in the 56th minute assisted by Dor David Turgeman. Gil capitalised on the chaos after a long throw. He made 51 passes and also recorded a clearance and a tackle. He has now contributed to a goal in each of his last three appearances.
Notches assist
Gil assisted once to go with four crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 2-1 win versus Atlanta United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 92nd minute.
Analysis: Gil earned the only assist of Wednesday's match for both sides, linking up with Will Sands in the 73rd minute for a goal. This is the second straight game with a goal contribution for the midfielder, bagging a goal in the last match. He now has one goal and two asissts in eight appearances (eight starts) this campaign.
