Cooper scores in 90th, Dynamo beat FC Dallas 3-2

FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Kenny Cooper scored in the final minute to lead FC Dallas to a 3-2 win over the Houston Dynamo in Major League Soccer on Sunday.

Later, the Los Angeles Galaxy and Chivas USA traded late goals following a disputed red card as the first meeting this season between the SuperClasico rivals finished in a 1-1 draw at Carson, California.

Cooper tapped a shot into the right corner of the net from the top of the box after Dallas squandered a two-goal advantage in the game's final 15 minutes.

George John angled a header into the right corner of the net in the 34th minute and Andrew Jacobson converted a corner from David Ferreira two minutes later to take a 2-0 lead into halftime.

Andrew Driver gave the Dynamo their first goal in the 79th minute with a left-footed shot that hit the top of the crossbar and bounced into the back of the net.

Brad Davis raced past two Dallas defenders less than four minutes later and fired a left-footed shot from inside 10 meters and into the left corner of the net to equalize.

The Galaxy's Jack McBean's scored from a header in the 83rd minute to give Los Angeles the lead, but Carlos Alvarez scored in his MLS debut in the 89th minute to level the scores.

Chivas played the final 50 minutes with 10 men after defender Joaquin Velazquez was sent off for tripping Galaxy winger Colin Clark.
