Dallas 1, Tampa Bay 3

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) _ Mamadou Diallo had two goals as the Tampa Bay Mutiny took over sole possession of first-place in Major League Soccer's Central Division with a 3-1 victory over the Dallas Burn Saturday.

Diallo scored the go-ahead goal in the 84th minute. He beat Dallas' Brandon Pollard to a pass from Carlos Valderama, put a move on the Burn defender and scored from 12-yards out.

Valderama had three assists, and Kevin Anderson scored in the 90th minute for the Mutiny.

Tampa Bay is 5-0 at home, outscoring their opponents 17-4. Jason Kreis, who has seven goals in 12 games against Tampa Bay, scored for Dallas.

The Burn are 0-3 on the road, getting outscored 10-2. Dallas forward Ariel Graziani received a red card from referee Noel Kenny in the 66th minute for elbowing Mutiny defender Steve Trittschuh.

Kreis' fourth goal of the season put the Burn up 1-0 in the 14th minute. Tampa Bay tied it at 1-1 in the 45th minute when Diallo picked up his fourth goal.

The injury-depleted Burn had defender Richard Farrer (back) return after sitting out two games.

Dallas midfielders Jorge Rodriguez (World Cup qualifer) and Sergi Daniv (rib), along with defenders Mark Santel (left quadriceps) and Eric Dade (back) did not play.

Mutiny Forward Raul Diaz Arce, who has nine goals against Dallas, joined Rodriguez in missing the contest to play for El Salvador in Sunday's World Cup qualifer against Guatemala.

Tampa Bay defender Chad McCarty returned after missing four games because of a United States National Team commitment.
