DALLAS (AP) _ Ariel Graziani's goal in the 54th minute gave the Dallas Burn a 1-0 victory over the Los Angeles Galaxy in the MLS Saturday night.

Graziani, the Ecuadorian forward acquired by the Burn in a trade from New England, has scored three goals in as many games with Dallas.

Burn midfielder Temoc Suarez pushed the ball forward from the outside of the Galaxy penalty area. Graziani collected the ball, split the LA defense and chipped the ball over Kevin Hartman into the back of the net.

The Galaxy had several opportunities late in the second half. In the 64th minute, midfielder Roy Myers had the ball directly in front of the Dallas net following a long cross by teammate Mauricio Cienfuegos. Myers fired a quick shot, but Jordan was able to make the save.

Minutes later, Cienfuegos missed the net by inches when his 23-yard free kick passed over the upper left corner of the net.
