FC Dallas rights itself at home; Acosta, Castillo supply goals as defense holds RSL without a shot

By STEPHEN HUNT / Special Contributor

FRISCO -- Kellyn Acosta likes to make his goals count.

Acosta, a Plano native, scored the game-winner in the 18th minute, tapping in a feed from Michael Barrios as FC Dallas shut out Real Salt Lake 2-0 on Saturday night before a crowd of 13,128 at Toyota Stadium.

"My eyes just got big," Acosta said. "I was a little nervous. I was like, 'I'm so wide open, I might miss it,' but I'm glad that Barrios found me, and I just put the ball away."

Acosta's goal came off a free kick near midfield.
