In the second minute of added time, second-half substitute Eliseo Quintanilla delivered a cross from the right flank met by a left-footed volley from Hristo Stoitchkov.
His shot was blocked by Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis, but the rebound fell to the feet of Kovalenko, who was crashing the net and knocked the ball home from the edge of the six-yard box.
