Rooney scores on corner kick

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) -- Jim Rooney scored on a header in the second half as the Miami Fusion rallied to beat the New England Revolution 2-1 Tuesday.

Rooney scored the game-winner in the 55th minute as he slid across the goal in front of New England goalkeeper Jeff Causey, and headed a short corner kick by Diego Serna. It was Rooney's fourth goal of the season.

New England took a 1-0 lead in the third minute on a goal by Wolde Harris, who converted a pass from John Harkes.

Miami tied it in the 30th minute when Henry Gutierrez converted a penalty kick. It was the first successful penalty kick in four attempts against Causey this season.

An apparent tying goal for the Revolution in the 90th minute was disallowed by referee Sergio Vega when he ruled that an own goal by the Fusion's Pablo Mastroeni was a result of the Revolution's Mauricio Wright pushing Mastroeni from behind.
