Two of the New England Revolution's newest players and one of their longest tenured helped lead them to a 3-2 victory over Sporting Kansas City on Saturday. Benny Feilhaber assisted on the Revs' first goal, team captain Shalrie Joseph scored the eventual equalizer and Rajko Lekic scored the game winner. The three goals were a season high for the Revolution, who had entered the match with just five goals in their first six matches.
New England Revolution Vs. Sporting Kansas City: Benny Feilhaber, Rajko Lekic Lead Victory
Feilhaber helped give the Revolution an early lead, combining with Marko Perovic in the 12th minute. But Sporting came back on a Kei Kamara goal and eventually took the lead on Kamara's second goal, which came on a penalty.
Kamara's second goal seemed to awaken the Revolution, who had been pretty thoroughly outplayed up to that point. Joseph was able to find the equalizer just three minutes later and the Revs were given a further boost when Aurelien Collin was shown a red -- for reasons still not entirely clear. Lekic was able to take advantage, scoring the go-ahead goal in the 83rd minute, taking off his jersey and displaying what appears to be a tattoo of his own name on his lower back in the process.
SKC has now lost three straight games and has not won in four straight, ever since their season-opening win against Chivas USA. They still have five more road games to play before playing their first game in Livestrong Sporting Park.
