On Thursday, FC Dallas traveled to face what was once a strong rivalry, but over the years with conference restructures, is a Chicago Fire we do not face often. The Brimstone Cup was on the line, but then again, on Sunday is the first match for the coveted El Capitan as Dallas takes on Houston, so Oscar Pareja knew where his priorities were when it came to team selection.

Heavy rotation

The likes of Maximiliano Urruti, Walker Zimmerman, Kellyn Acosta and Jesse Gonzalez were all left home to be rested for the rivalry match this weekend.
