BOX SCORE
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Brian McBride headed in two corner kicks
within five minutes as the Columbus Crew beat the Miami Fusion 2-1
in a Major League Soccer game Sunday.
McBride got up over defenders to head in a corner from the right
side by Robert Warzycha in the 76th minute. McBride put the ball
inside the far post past Fusion goalie Jeff Cassar from 14 yards
out.
Warzycha found McBride on a corner kick from the left side in
the 81st minute. This time Cassar came off his line, but McBride
beat him to the ball and headed it into an open net from 10 yards
out.
McBride recently signed a new contract that will keep him with
the Crew through the 2002 season.
The Fusion took a 1-0 lead just before halftime after midfielder
Jeff Bilyk stole the ball from Crew defender Todd Yeagley and
passed to Eric Wynalda. Wynalda dribbled up the right sideline,
broke inside and scored on a shot from 23 yards to beat goalie Mark
Dougherty in the 43rd minute.
Dougherty had seven saves and Cassar none.
Columbus is 19-11 and Miami is 11-19.
