Olsen: Assist, goal in injury time

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Ben Olsen scored in the third minute of injury time to give DC United a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Fire on Saturday night in Major League Soccer.

Olsen, who set up Jaime Moreno's tying goal a minute earlier, gathered a centering pass from Marco Etcheverry to beat Chicago goalkeeper Chris Snitko.

The Fire took a 2-1 lead in the 85th minute on Jesse Marsch's goal off a give-and-go play with Ante Razov.

Chicago defender Andrew Lewis was given a red card in the 69th minute for charging into Moreno. There were 33 fouls and five yellow cards in the physical game in the rain-drenched field.

Jeff Maessner gave DC (1-2) its first lead of the season in the 22nd minute when he blasted a shot into the net past Snitko.

Chicago (1-3) tied it in first-half injury time when Hristo Stoitchkov sent an indirect free kick through a wall of defenders and past United goalkeeper Tom Presthus. The goal was Stoitchkov's third in as many games for the Fire.
