Burn Reaches Final

Wed., Sept. 3, 1997

Compiled From Wire Services

Jorge Flores scored 13 minutes into extra time and sent the Dallas Burn to the U.S. Open Cup final with a 2-1 victory over fellow Major League Soccer club New York-New Jersey at New York.

The victory put the Burn in the championship game of America’s oldest tournament, which started in 1914, against either defending champion Washington or the third-division San Francisco Bay Seals.

The British government demanded that Scottish soccer authorities explain their decision to hold a World Cup qualifying game in Aberdeen on the afternoon of Princess Diana’s funeral.
