Relief comes in many forms in this league but sometimes the biggest relief is getting that victory away from home in a game that was nuts. FC Dallas finally figured out the formula in their return from a long Leagues Cup hiatus to defeat D.C. United 4-3.
Yes, the game could have easily been 6-2 or 5-3 in Dallas’ favor. But at the end of the day, the team did it. They got what has to be the most important victory of the season to date in a stadium that they had never won in before1.
When a game has seven goals and a red card, it means there is a lot to discuss. I won’t even get into Jesus Ferreira and Patrickson Delgado’s returns in this one. That is how much other stuff we have to dive into here.
