FC Dallas got battered at home in disappointing fashion. Dallas was mostly in control of the game, during the opening stretches and looked to be in full playoff mode when Jesse Gonzalez made that huge penalty save. But alas, sometimes soccer sucks. Sporting Kansas City took an unexpected 1-0 lead late in the first half, against the run of play and Dallas’ offense continued to misfire for the rest of the afternoon.
The curse of the #9?
There’s something really weird going on with the recent crop of FCD strikers. Blas Perez had his moments, but since then, Dallas has routinely struggled finding an out and out forward that could just bang in goals.
