Columbus lead for the first time this season, but they also dropped points from a winning position for the first time this season.
Crew SC faced a daunting task, going to Dallas and getting a win. FC Dallas has emerged as one of the leading teams in MLS the past several seasons. Except when they don't have their star playmaker Mauro Diaz. Diaz was a late scratch on Saturday night and Crew SC's job got easier, but Columbus still wasn't able to pull out a win, leaving Texas with a point after a 1-1 draw.
