Burn, Crew settle for 1-1 draw

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Jason Farrell scored in the 72nd minute Saturday, giving the Columbus Crew a 1-1 tie with the Dallas Burn in Major League Soccer.

Farrell's shot from about 12 yards out went off the left goalpost and into the net, just out of reach of Burn goalkeeper Matt Jordan.

Columbus' only good scoring opportunity after that came when the Crew's Jeff Cunningham had a shot that went off the right post four minutes later.

Aleksey Korol of the Burn opened the scoring in the fourth minute, assisted by Paul Broome and Oscar Pareja. Broome beat two defenders and passed back to Korol, whose shot found the right corner of the net from eight yards out.

Each team had 12 shots, but Dallas led 6-3 in shots on goal. Matt Napoleon had five saves in goal for Columbus, while Jordan had two.

The tie enabled Columbus (5-7-3) to stay third in the MLS Central Division, one point ahead of Dallas (5-8-2). The one point for the tie was the first for Dallas on the road this season after six straight losses.
