Fire roar past FC Dallas

Mar 22, 2009 - 3:31 AM FRISCO, Texas (AP) -- Brian McBride scored the go-ahead goal on a penalty kick in the 51st minute to lead the Chicago Fire to a 3-1 season-opening win against FC Dallas on Saturday night.

The Fire won at FC Dallas for the first time in 14 games despite surrendering Kenny Cooper's goal on a shot from beyond midfield in the 9th minute.

Chicago's Justin Mapp made it 1-1 on a 15-yard shot in the 38th minute, then McBride put his team ahead after FC Dallas defender Drew Moor was called for a hand ball in the penalty box early in the second half.

Cuauhtemoc Blanco added an insurance goal in the final seconds when he curled a free kick over a wall of defenders into the right corner of the net.
