MLS Review: High-flying Dallas return to form, mixed day for Baptista

After being humbled by Seattle Sounders in MLS midweek, FC Dallas bounced back in comfortable fashion on Saturday.

FC Dallas returned to winning ways after seeing off the Chicago Fire, while former Brazil international Julio Baptista opened the scoring and missed a penalty in Orlando City's draw at the Vancouver Whitecaps.

After being humbled 5-0 by the Seattle Sounders in MLS midweek, Western Conference-leading Dallas bounced back via a 3-1 victory against the Fire on Saturday.

First-half goals from Maximiliano Urruti and Mauro Diaz put Dallas in the box seat at Toyota Stadium - the pair scoring within 18 minutes of each other.
