FC Dallas were so close to getting a positive result last night against the Philadelphia Union, but some sloppy play ultimately caught up with them and Dallas lost all the points. Circumstances leading up to the match didn’t help, with suspensions coming from the club to Jesse Gonzalez, Carlos Gruezo and Pablo Aranguiz and forcing 17 year old Thomas Roberts into a start on the left wing. Dallas held an early 1-0 lead late into this one, before conceding and walking away without any points to show for it.
