Creative Playmaker
New EnglandBreaks 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.
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.
