Season opener wins seem to be a growing tradition around these parts. Overall, FC Dallas played a very clean game, controlling the tempo for much of the game and kept the ball out of Jesse Gonzalez' net. If it weren't for Andre Blake's herculean saves, the scoreline could've been 5-0, or even 6-0 easily. Despite starting three new players into the opening lineup, this team looked nearly in mid-season form already and very easily claimed the precious three points to start the year.
Strong Debuts
Let's start with the obvious talking point, Maximiliano Urruti, who made excellent runs all afternoon and scored the second goal to seal the victory.
