FC Dallas did what they couldn’t do the previous weekend: hold on to a lead. Last week Dallas played tentatively and had a 1-0 lead against the Philadelphia Union before shipping two goals in the final seven minutes to lose 1-2. This time, against a struggling Portland Timbers, Dallas started off stronger, with a higher line and more intent but were played out of their own stadium in the final 20 minutes or so. Fortunately they didn’t give up the equalizer, and while three points is always three points, this sudden trend of shaky play while holding on to a lead is certainly starting to look troubling for Luchi Gonzalez and his young squad.
