Magee leads Fire to 3-2 win over FC Dallas

FRISCO (AP) - Mike Magee tied for the MLS goal-scoring lead and added an assist to help the Chicago Fire hold off FC Dallas 3-2 Saturday night.

The victory moved the Fire (13-12-7) into a three-way tie with Montreal and Philadelphia for fourth place in the Eastern Conference with two matches remaining.

Dallas (10-11-11) rallied from a 3-0 deficit on Kenny Cooper's two second-half goals, but remained eighth in the Western Conference.

Chicago opened the scoring in the 25th minute when Magee sent a corner kick from the left side to about 10 yards in front of the goal and Juan Luis Anangono headed it in.

Magee scored his 19th goal in the 42nd minute when Alex's shot deflected off Magee's right shoulder.

Defender Jalil Anibaba put Chicago ahead 3-0 in the 52nd minute with his first goal since May 2012.
