New England Revolution have beaten MLS Cup holders Los Angeles 3-1 at the Home Depot Center tonight.
With ten minutes gone, Shalrie Joseph found Rowe unmarked in the area. Sean Franklin saved the midfielder's initial attempt on goal, but was powerless to stop the New England star when the ball bounced straight back to his feet.
Defender Chris Tierney doubled the home side's misery in a matter of minutes by adding a second after making a run from deep to go 2-0 up at the break.
New England's Saer Sene all but wrapped things up with an hour gone, adding a third goal to the visitors' total following a whipped ball from the right flank.
Los Angeles duo Edson Buddle and Robbie Keane combined to pull one back for the hosts, with the former Spurs striker rounding keeper Kevin Alston to reduce the deficit in the final minutes.
