FOXBOROUGH, Mass., April 23 (UPI) -- Rajko Lekic netted the go-ahead goal in the 83rd minute Saturday and the New England Revolution rallied for a 3-2 win over Sporting Kansas City.

Down 2-1 in the 69th minute, New England scored twice in the late going to post the victory.

Shalrie Joseph got the equalizer in the 72nd minute when he jumped high to head a free kick over Kansas City goalie Jimmy Nielsen for his third goal of the season.

The Revs (2-2-3) then took advantage when Sporting's Aurelien Collin was flagged with his second yellow card in the 76th minute and went short-handed. Lekic responded by skipping a right-side cross from Zak Boggs into the net for the game-winner.

Marko Perovic also found the goal for New England.

Kansas City (1-3-1) got both its goals from Kei Kamara.
