Frisco, TEXAS —

Abe Thompson scored in the 91st minute to help FC Dallas tie the Kansas City Wizards 1-1 on Friday night.
Thompson, who entered the game as a substitute for forward Dominic Oduro in the second half, scored his second goal of the season on a header from 7 yards away.
Eric Avila setup the score with a crossing pass from 25 yards away on the left side to Thompson who angled a header into the right corner of the net.
Scott Sealy’s second goal of the year in the 39th minute snapped a 448-minute span where no Kansas City (4-5-5) player had scored a goal. Sealy took a pass from Claudio Lopez and dribbled a few steps past FC Dallas defender Drew Moor before firing a left-footed shot from 15 yards away for a 1-0 Wizards’ lead.
The last Wizard to score was Lopez in the 40th minute against Los Angeles on May 24th. Kansas City’s only score during the 448-minute streak came off of an own goal in the 89th minute of a 1-0 win against Real Salt Lake on June 28th.
FC Dallas head coach Schellas Hyndman is still looking for his first MLS win since taking over on June 17, Hyndman is 0-2-2.
FC Dallas (4-6-6) had a goal disallowed after Kenny Cooper was ruled offsides in the 78th minute.
