ST. LOUIS (AP) — Marcel Hartel scored the lone goal of the second half as St. Louis City rallied from an early deficit to defeat the New England Revolution 3-1 on Saturday night, spoiling the Revs' first trip to Energizer Park. St. Louis City trailed 1-0 after Ilay Feingold scored for New England in the 14th minute, but Simon Becher equalized in the 29th minute and Chris Durkin put the home team ahead just before halftime. Hartel added an insurance goal in the 83rd minute to seal the victory for St. Louis City, who earned their first win of the season.
