COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Sebastian Miranda scored on a long header off corner kick in the 72nd minute in the Columbus Crew’s 2-1 comeback victory over FC Dallas on Saturday night.

Justin Meram tied it for the Crew (3-4-2) in the 67th minute, 4 minutes after Dallas’ Zach Loyd was sent off for a second yellow card for his tackle on Meram.

Meram struck from 35 yards after teammate Eric Gehrig stole the ball from Matt Hedges. Miranda scored on a sitting, snap header from just outside the penalty area off a cross from Nemanja Vukovic.

Fabian Castillo put Dallas (3-6-3) ahead in the 22nd minute with his first goal of the season.

The Crew snapped a six-game winless streak, while Dallas dropped to 0-3-3 in its last six.
