FC Dallas is coming off a comfortable 2-0 victory at home against Philadelphia in which the Union never really put up a challenge. Fabian Castillo had his way with the Philly defense, scoring the first goal of the season for FC Dallas and celebrating with his teammates in a "Casti-Row."
Maxi Urruti was active all 90 minutes, demonstrating his connection with Argentinian countryman Mauro Diaz on the game-sealing goal. Carlos Gruezo impressed on his Dallas debut, winning the ball repeatedly and distributing it to all of his attacking teammates.
