Stoneham's Cesar Perozo Honored For Being a Hero

The New England Revolution honored Cesar Perozo from Stoneham as the Hero of the Match against the New York Red Bulls at the team’s home game on Wednesday, July 5 during a pregame ceremony.

Perozo was recognized for saving a 68-year-old woman’s life in when he reacted quickly after he saw a car get launched into a pond. Perozo jumped into the water, fully-clothed, and pulled the woman out of her car which then quickly sank about 40 feet. He then brought the woman, who couldn’t swim, back to safety. He had a sideline view of the Revs pregame warmups and enjoyed the game from the Putnam Club.

The Revs’ Hero of the Match program honors a local first responder, member of the armed forces or individual making a difference in the community at each home game during the 2017 season.
