Last week, we talked about how tough Nashville is, and for eighty minutes or so, it looked like Saturday was going to end in another draw at home.

For the first time in a while, FC Dallas looked competent and strong on both sides of the ball. The defense limited Nashville’s opportunities. The offense continued to build with promising attacks and movement, even if the better of the shots were ably parried.
