Neither FC Dallas or Sporting Kansas City are challenging for the Supporter’s Shield (or Western Conference Title for that matter) this season, but that didn’t mean the match was without its usual intensity. Fouls flew back and forth as well as Vermes F-bombs (that’s probably a usual occurrence). But it was Dallas that converted their chances and walked away with a much-needed three points.
Acosta the enforcer
The transition between a Gruezo/Cerrillo and Acosta/Servania midfield to an Acosta-Servania pairing was risky. Luchi sacrificed a more defensive-minded midfielder for twin box-to-box players.
