Caleb Porter returns to face his former club Columbus Crew and is keen for New England Revolution to cut out mistakes. Porter managed Columbus from 2019 to 2022, winning the MLS Cup, an Eastern Conference title and the Campeones Cup. He took charge of New England in December 2023 and the team sits 11th in the Eastern Conference while struggling recently, including a 2-0 loss to LAFC and one win in 11 league games. Columbus have also faltered, taking four points from their last four matches but remain sixth in the East after a 1-1 draw with Toronto FC.
"We have been good on the road," Porter said. "I am not worried about that because the confidence is good away from home, because we have got the results. The belief is there. I think the challenges over the last two games was we were playing two very good teams in LAFC and now Columbus. You saw last game that we had to be perfect to win."
"We made one mistake. We played well enough but were punished for that mistake. When you're playing teams like that, you have to play well and the margins are tighter. You have to make sure you don't make mistakes. If we play like we did last game, which I think we will, we're going to be in a good position to take the result."
