FRISCO -- FC Dallas went into Sunday's game controlling its own destiny in the MLS playoff picture but left with concerns about its future after a 3-0 loss to Sporting Kansas City.
The loss left FCD with no feasible path to earning the top seed in the Western Conference. With one match remaining in the season and the two teams above FCD in the table -- SKC and LAFC -- facing each other on the final day of the season, the team could still earn the No. 2 seed, which would allow them to bypass the knockout round.
