FC Dallas is going back to the MLS Cup Playoffs. On Saturday, they tied the San Jose Earthquakes 1-1 and got some help in some other games across MLS to secure their return trip to the playoffs.
Entering the match, FC Dallas had nine different scenarios that could see them clinch a playoff spot. FC Dallas found their ticket was punched thanks to Real Salt Lake losing 2-1 to FC Cincinnati and the Seattle Sounders dropping their game 2-1 to the Vancouver Whitecaps earlier in the day.
After some messy shots in the opening 15 minutes of the match for both sides, Dallas got a little lucky with their first goal as Jader Obrian scored his second goal of the season.
