Last week’s win in Atlanta brought a new look and formation for FC Dallas under Luchi Gonzalez. The first-year manager used a 3-5-2 type look that helped focus on defending the reigning MLS Golden Boot winner in Josef Martinez (aside from a 97th minute penalty kick, it worked).
Now FC Dallas returns home to battle a team that has been their Achilles heel over the last couple of years in the San Jose Earthquakes. Matias Almeyda’s side has starting to find their groove here in the last few weeks, with wins over Sporting KC and a draw last night in Seattle.
