Carles Gil just dropped a masterclass for the New England Revolution, hitting a massive career milestone that places him right alongside our very own Albert Rusnák in the MLS history books. On Sunday, Gil’s incredible performance led the Revs to a 3-1 win over Columbus Crew at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field, officially putting him in some rarefied air.
Gil’s Masterclass and the Milestone
Gil, the former Landon Donovan MLS MVP, racked up 1 goal and 2 assists in that win. This stellar outing pushed his career total to 152 goal contributions, comprised of 57 goals and 95 assists. That’s a huge number, making him only the 20th player in MLS history to hit the 150-plus mark. He was cooking all game, grabbing an assist on Matt Polster’s 32nd-minute equalizer that wiped out Brais Méndez’s opening goal. Then, before halftime, Gil slipped a perfect ball in for Dor Turgeman, extending the Revs lead to 2-1. To cap it all off, he netted his eighth goal of the season in the 79th minute with a clipped golazo. What a day for him.
Club 150: Rusnák Gets Company
This 152 mark isn’t just a random number. It ties Gil for 17th on the all-time list of players with 150-plus goal contributions. And who’s he tied with? None other than Josef Martínez of Columbus Crew and our very own Seattle Sounders FC midfielder, Albert Rusnák! It’s awesome to see one of our guys up there, a true testament to Rusnák’s consistent impact on the league. Gil is definitely in elite company now.
Gil will be looking to climb that list even higher when the Revolution hit the road to visit the LA Galaxy this Saturday in Matchday 24. You know he’s gonna be pushing hard.
