FC Dallas pulled off the improbable road win against Sporting Kansas City last night, courtesy of a hat trick from Michael Barrios. Barrios hadn’t scored in 10 months, but delivered the goods when this team needed it the most.
Barrios. Barrios. BARRIOS!
Big credit to Oscar Pareja for quickly identifying a weakness in the Kansas City defense by switching Barrios to the lone striker position early on in the match and reaping the rewards.

Barrios actually had a relatively simple job to do: Sit on Ike Opara’s shoulders and get behind the defense.
