who won the penalty kick that gave the Burn the win on Saturday -- won a free kick that Kreis pounded toward the near post, forcing Reis to make another fine save.
Rhine and Kreis teamed up again three minutes later, as Rhine served in a cross that Kreis headed toward goal, and Reis again did well to save the effort.
But after weathering the late storm the Revs broke through on the counter, and the 83rd-minute substitution by Revolution head coach Steve Nicol, bringing on fresh legs in the form of rookie midfielder Dorman, soon paid dividends.
First in the 87th minute he fed Twellman with a low cross to finish off a 3-v-2 that gave Twellman his fourth goal of the season, then streaking into the box to turn home his first MLS goal off a Noonan cross from the right deep into stoppage time.
Both teams finish off a two-match week at the weekend, with the Revolution traveling to Washington, D.C. to take on D.C. United on Saturday (7:30 p.m. ET; FSW/FSWE) and the Burn facing the MetroStars on Sunday (6 p.m. ET).
