New England Revolution`s preseason win highlights Wyatt Omsberg`s goal, while notable player retirements and transfers shake up MLS teams.

New England Revolution kicked off their preseason with a solid 1-0 victory over Austin FC in a friendly match. Wyatt Omsberg netted the only goal, finishing a well-executed cross from Carles Gil after a short corner. Coach Caleb Porter praised the team`s strong defensive display and the developing chemistry among players, highlighting the importance of fostering a winning mentality. Goalkeepers Aljaž Ivačič and Donovan Parisian faced minimal challenges, while center back Brayan Ceballos showcased sharp defensive skills throughout the match.

In a surprising turn of events, Orlando City SC forward Jack Lynn announced his retirement from professional soccer at just 25 years old, opting to pursue opportunities outside of football. Meanwhile, Minnesota United FC secured midfielder Bongokuhle Hlongwane with a contract extension through 2027, reflecting his significant contribution to the team with 30 goals in 95 MLS appearances.

The Houston Dynamo and forward Sebastián Ferreira have mutually terminated his contract, creating a pressing need for a top-tier playmaker in the midfield. The team is also in search of replacements for the departed Héctor Herrera and Coco Carrasquilla. LAFC is preparing for the loss of Mateusz Bogusz, who is reportedly transferring to Cruz Azul in Liga MX. Despite having depth in the forward line, LAFC must find a suitable replacement for Bogusz`s role in central midfield, with Brazilian midfielder Igor Jesus among the reinforcements on the horizon.

Austin FC has made headlines by transferring their all-time leading goal-scorer, Sebastián Driussi, to Argentine club River Plate, leaving a significant gap in their attacking lineup. Inter Miami is gearing up for their first preseason match against Club América, which will be available for free on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV. This match marks the debut of Javier Mascherano as Inter Miami`s head coach. Additionally, the US men`s national team kicked off 2025 with a 3-1 friendly victory over Venezuela, featuring first career international goals from Jack McGlynn, Patrick Agyemang, and Matko Miljevic.
