The playoff chances for FC Dallas looked decent for a moment as they went into halftime with a 2-1 lead but LAFC rode a hat trick from Cristian Arango to come from behind and win 3-2 on Wednesday night.
The loss eliminated FC Dallas from playoff contention in 2021 with four games remaining on the schedule.
Despite missing team-leading scorer Ricardo Pepi with a foot injury, FC Dallas got off to a good start in the 10th minute with a goal from Ryan Hollingshead. The defender slipped into the penalty box and took a nice pass from Jesus Ferreira to find the game’s first goal.
