In a closed-door preseason friendly on Saturday afternoon, FC Dallas downed USL Championship side New Mexico United 4-1.

FC Dallas got a first half goal from Herbert Endeley, along with a second half outburst that saw Eugene Ansah score once and then assist on back-to-back goals from Liam Fraser and Paul Arriola.

The home side took the lead 25 minutes into the match on a rocket of a goal from Endeley. Dallas picked the ball up in the New Mexico third of the field with Sebastian Lletget finding Endeley on the wing, who made a move around one defender before ripping a shot inside the penalty box to beat the New Mexico keeper at the far post.

Five minutes later, New Mexico tied it up after a turnover in the midfield. The New Mexico attacker collected the ball outside the penalty box and then fired a shot that caught Jimmy Maurer off his line.

FC Dallas regained the lead in the 70th minute on a turnover in the midfield by Tsiki Ntsabeleng. The Dallas midfielder played a quick through ball to Ansah in the penalty box, where he coolly beat former FC Dallas keeper Jesse Gonzalez[1](#footnote-1) at the far post. 

Within two minutes, FC Dallas added two more goals from Fraser and Arriola. Ansah assisted on both goals.

**Instant reaction**: It is a preseason game, folks. While a 4-1 win is always worth taking, there is still a lot to do on this preseason. Some defensive play looked choppy at times. Some passes weren’t that sharp. We’ll be back tomorrow to break this one all down.

**Man of the match**: For being a preseason match, there were a few standouts. Nolan Norris had a solid first half, and Endeley looked good on the wings. Ansah had a goal and two assists in the second half.

**What’s next for FC Dallas**: The club heads to Spain for the next leg of their preseason campaign next week.
