Fury scored two goals in the final 10 minutes of regular time to notch a 3-2 road win over Minnesota United FC in the first game of a home-and-home series on Saturday night.

The victory ended a five-game draw streak and eight-game winless streak for Ottawa, which needs a whole bunch of wins to get back into the North American Soccer League playoff picture.

Two excellent crosses from Jamar Dixon led to the tying and go-ahead goals. Ryan Williams tied it at 2-2 in the 84th minute before Danny Mwanga headed one home in the 88th minute.

Giuseppe Gentile scored in the 35th minute for Ottawa to tie it at 1-1.

Minnesota’s Jamie Watson and Christian Ramirez beat Fury goalie Romuald Peiser.

The same two teams meet next Saturday at TD Place.
