Second-half surge vs. Orlando allows FC Dallas to extend conference lead

FRISCO -- FC Dallas coach Oscar Pareja got to make halftime adjustments, then give a second team talk before his club finally was able to see out a 2-0 victory over Orlando City SC and extend their lead atop the Western Conference to four points.

Heavy winds, rains and lightning forced a postponement of just more than an hour with the final whistle just 10 minutes away, meaning Pareja could tweak his team twice. He took advantage, bringing in winger Santiago Mosquera in the 56th minute and putting veteran midfielder Abel Aguilar in after the long stoppage to help see out the result.
