FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Darren Yapi scored a go-ahead goal in second-half stoppage time to help the Colorado Rapids beat FC Dallas 3-2 on Saturday.

Djordje Mihailovic set up the winning goal by lofting a pass over the defense to draw Maarten Paes out of his area and Yapi touched it over the goalkeeper. Mihailovic became the second player (Mark Chung in 2002) in club history to produce at least 10 goals and 10 assists in a single season.

Colorado (13-9-5) has scored 53 goals from just 27 games.

Dallas (9-12-6) played its first MLS game in 45 days due to the Leagues Cup break.

Colorado also scored on a rebound from close range five minutes later when Rafael Navarro knocked it in for a 1-all tie.

Petar Musa gave Colorado a 2-1 lead in the 66th and Navarro tied it 10 minutes later with his 14th goal of the season.
