Amani Walker continued his strong start to the season with a tying goal in first-half stoppage time, and Minnesota Stars FC scored twice in the second half for a 3-1 victory at Fort Lauderdale on Saturday night.

The defending champion Stars are 4-0-3 this season.

Walker intercepted a Strikers pass and beat goalkeeper Matt Glaeser shortly before halftime. Miguel Ibarra scored for the Stars on a rebound in the 62nd minute, and sub Simone Bracalello made it 3-1 in the 83rd.

"The game really turned when we got that goal right before the half," Stars coach Manny Lagos said.
