FC Dallas finally mounted their first comeback win of 2020 and got a huge three point boost against Miami. This afternoon Dallas can secure their playoff spot with a draw or a win, but also importantly, secure state bragging rights and keep El Capitan in Frisco for another year. Can Dallas get ‘er done?

FCD vs SEA
Name | Result for FCD | FCD Score | Opposition Score | Commentary |
---|---|---|---|---|
Name | Result for FCD | FCD Score | Opposition Score | Commentary |
Ben Lyon | Win | 2 | 1 | The smug comments from Sounders fans this week... |
Jack Rous | Win | 2 | 0 | How do they do it? Ricardo Pepi |
Jason Poon | Loss | 0 | 2 | It's been fun but I'm not seeing a way out of Seattle with a win. |
Jeff Loftin | Loss | 1 | 2 | Close loss after controversial play at the other end which mysteriously doesn't get VAR treatment. |
Mohammad Bushnaq | Loss | 1 | 2 | Valiant effort but Dallas falls short in the Pacific NW for their revenge bid. |
Nathan Hill | Draw | 2 | 2 | FC Dallas advance on PKs and claim the Cascadia Cup. Goals from Jara and Pepi. |
Ryan Scanlon | Loss | 1 | 3 | Seattle’s quality and combination play will be too much for FC Dallas which will not let us get away with what we pulled off against Portland. Michael Barrios gives us a glimmer of hope with a goal before Jordan Morris and Nick Lodeiro put this out of reach. |
Nathan has now put up a commanding lead on all of us. All hail the Reverend!
