FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Carles Gil and teenager Peyton Miller both scored during second-half stoppage time to cap two-goal efforts and the New England Revolution rallied to beat Orlando City 4-2 on Saturday night.

Miller, 18, used assists from Dor Turgemon and Ethan Kohler to score in the 59th minute for a two-goal lead.
Iván Angulo scored for the fourth time this season — unassisted three minutes later to cut it to 2-1.
Orlando City (10-12-4) pulled even in the 88th minute on a penalty kick by Martín Ojeda. The striker's 12th goal of the campaign came after a foul on Miller.
But Miller scored three minutes into stoppage time and Gil scored again three minutes after that to help the Revolution improve to 9-2-2 at home this season.
Gil has a career-high 12 goals this season. The 33-year-old midfielder has 61 goals in 219 career matches with the Revs. Miller's seven goals are also a career best.
