Mike Magee scored a goal while trying to get out of the way on Saturday in the Chicago Fire's 3-2 victory over FC Dallas. The goal counts the same as any other on the scoresheet and has Magee leading the Striker Index as the 2013 MLS regular season winds down.


Here's the updated MLS Striker Index (minimum goals: 10).
