FC Dallas played their first scrimmage of the spring against another club on Wednesday, taking on local amateur side and US Open Cup heroes NTX Rayados. FCD ran out a completely different XI in each half and even played a few players in the Rayados side just to get some playing time for a few younger guys.
"The goal was to play someone different than ourselves so they are playing us differently than what we're planting in the inter-squad and having us show what we have worked on in terms of our build under high pressure," said FCD head coach Luchi Gonzalez afterward.
