Shaky Start
FC Dallas got on the wrong end of the scoreboard when Erick Aguirre torched Hernan Grana on the wing and found Franco Jara who put the shot past Chris Seitz in the 3rd minute. After the goal, Dallas seemed a little shaken. They were struggling on set pieces, wasting opportunities on the attack, and allowing themselves to be vulnerable on the counter. Pachuca had some more chances too, as their strategy was to get as many ones on one situations as possible on the wing. They seemed to target Grana, who against Arabe Unido, played excellent in his debut for the club.
