FRISCO, Texas (AP) - Marco Fabian de la Mora scored off a giveaway in the 86th minute to snap a 1-1 tie and give Mexican first division club Chivas de Guadalajara a 2-1 victory over FC Dallas in an exhibition game Sunday night.
FC Dallas held a 1-0 lead with just 10 minutes remaining, but a late rally by the 11-time Mexican champions left them undefeated (3-0-2) in five matches against their American counterparts.

Chivas completed its two-game MLS tour with a 1-1 record after dropping a 1-0 decision against the New York Red Bulls on Wednesday in Phoenix.
Juan Toja gave Dallas the lead in the 21st minute, scoring from the far side of the goalie box off a corner kick by Andre Rocha, and FC Dallas appeared to be in control.
Chivas goalkeeper Luis Michel Vergara made two key saves midway through the second half. He stopped Ricardinho on a breakaway in the 76th minute and then turned aside Bobby Rhine's point-blank header in the 79th minute off a corner kick.
Ramon Morales got the equalizer in the 82nd minute, capitalizing on a penalty kick and setting the stage for de la Mora's winner 4 minutes later.
Dallas defender Anthony Wallace made an ill-advised back pass near center field and de la Mora pounced on it, racing in on a breakaway. As Dallas goalkeeper Dario Sala charged him, de la Mora, who had entered the game in the 59th minute, sidestepped him about 25 yards out, then drilled it into the open net.
Dallas played most of its usual starters, but did rest forward Kenny Cooper, who is currently third in the MLS with eight goals.
Although the contest was played in FC Dallas' home park, the vast majority of the 10,689 in attendance openly rooted for Chivas.
