It certainly wasn’t pretty but FC Dallas picked up a win in their first CONCACAF Champions League game since 2011 as they downed Real Esteli 2-1.
FC Dallas got a first half goal from Michael Barrios and then a late game-winner from defender Maynor Figueroa on the way to picking up three points.
Barrios almost had a goal 20 minutes into the match as he pushed up the field on a counter attack. He made one move by a defender before putting in a low and hard shot past the Real Esteli keeper. Unfortunately the Colombian’s shot would rattle off the post and back into play.
