Brad Friedel's unit opened the 2019 season with a come-from-behind draw against FC Dallas. Michael Barrios opened the match's scoring in the 13th minute, giving Dallas an early lead that held for the remainder of the first half, and almost 15 minutes of the second half. New England's newest signing, Carles Gil, finally drew the Revolution level with about 30 minutes remaining. Neither side was able to break through and earn a late lead, in part because of each team's efforts not to concede -- leaving both teams with their first point of the season.
