FC Dallas got a late goal right before stoppage time to keep their unbeaten streak alive, and the Colorado Rapids got away with a road point when they almost took all three.
Anthony Hudson had to tweak the starting lineup due to injuries to Marlon Hairston and Danny Wilson, starting Kip Colvey on the wing and Axel Sjoberg for Wilson. Nana Boateng was another change, starting instead of Enzo Martinez.
The first half was dominated by FCD, with their first chance coming in the 19th minute and getting several more chances throughout the half.
