New England revolution x real salt lake

In snowy conditions Saturday evening at Gillette Stadium, Real Salt Lake scored three late second-half goals to clinch a stunning comeback victory over the New England Revolution 3-2. With the game seemingly out of reach, Sergio Córdova, who joined RSL on loan from FC Augsburg this summer, scored his first career MLS goal in the 78th minute to pull the visitors back within one. Justen Glad then tied the game two minutes before stoppage time, and Tate Schmitt completed the comeback in the third minute of stoppage time with a curling goal.

Emmanuel Boateng scored the game's opening goal in first-half stoppage time, before Jozy Altidore scored in the 62nd minute, just two minutes after entering the game. The former Toronto FC striker, who signed with the Revs as a free agent this winter, headed home Adam Buksa's beautiful back-post flick.

Real Salt Lake has had a terrific start to the season, winning all three points against Seattle Sounders FC last week and now against the New England Revolution. They'll try to keep it going at home against Nashville SC of the Western Conference next week. For Bruce Arena's team, it's a rare blemish at Gillette Stadium after a solid start to the year - both in MLS and in the Concacaf Champions League. But you'll always be upset if you're up by two goals with less than 15 minutes remaining and you leave the game with no points.
