FC Dallas took down the visiting Sporting Kansas City last night, thanks to he heroics of Maynor Figueroa who headed home the winner in the 70th minute. With the 1-0 win, Dallas remains unbeaten to start the 2017 MLS campaign. The scariest notion is that this team isn’t even at full strength yet, with Anibal Chala, Victor Ulloa, Ryan Hollingshead and of course, Mauro Diaz all working their way back from their respective injuries.
Part of the success for the hot start for Dallas has been due the defensive work from the entire backline. Through six games, FCD has only conceded 3 goals in the process with 2 coming from penalties.
