HARRISON, N.J. — Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Emil Forsberg both had two of New York’s five unanswered goals in the second half and the Red Bulls rallied to beat the New England Revolution 5-3 on Wednesday night.
Leo Campana notched his fifth goal of the season five minutes into the match, scoring unassisted to give New England (6-9-7) the lead. Luca Langoni hit the left post, but the shot bounced off Red Bulls defender Omar Valencia and into the net for an own goal and a 2-0 lead in the 30th minute that carried through halftime.
The Red Bulls (9-8-6) cut it to 2-1 when 22-year-old midfielder Daniel Edelman scored his first goal this season and his third in 87 career appearances — unassisted in the 56th minute.
Choupo-Moting scored the equalizer in the 70th minute with assists from Forsberg and 20-year midfielder Ronald Donkor. Forsberg made it 3-2 in the 72nd with an assist from 21-year-old forward Dennis Gjengaar — his first this season.
Choupo-Moting — in his first season in the league — added his 13th goal in the 83rd minute on another assist from Donkor, who has three this season. Forsberg used a penalty kick to score his ninth goal of the season for a 5-2 lead in the 88th.
Campana capped the scoring in the third minute of stoppage time with his sixth goal.
Carlos Coronel finished with five saves for the Red Bulls.
Aljaz Ivacic stopped four shots for the Revolution.
