Simon Becher and Chris Durkin also scored as St. Louis (1-3-1, 4 points) rallied from an early deficit to earn its first victory under new coach Yoann Damet.

Hartel’s goal came in the 83rd minute when he picked off a sloppy clear by the Revs and fired from roughly 40 yards out, looping a shot over New England keeper Matt Turner, who was out of position, well off the goal line.

Ilay Feingold scored in the 14th minute for New England (1-3-0, 3 points), which was coming off a 6-1 victory over FC Cincinnati, matching a team record for goals in an MLS match.

The Revolution had possession for 54.7% of the match but put only two shots on goal.

New England took the lead in the 14th minute when Luca Langoni passed from the deep left side across the box and Feingold scored with his right foot into the top right corner.

St. Louis City responded in the 29th minute as New England failed to clear and Daniel Edelman seized possession, feeding Becher at the top of the box. Becher placed a left-footed shot into the top right corner making it 1-1.

Just before the end of the first half, St. Louis went up 2-1 as Rafael Santos’ in-swinging corner kick floated over defenders and to the right foot of Durkin in the center of the box. Durkin placed a high shot just under the crossbar to the center of the goal to give St. Louis City the lead for good.

Turner, who was called up to the U.S. national team earlier this week, had three saves for New England, while Roman Burki had one save for St. Louis.
