In their first action in months, FC Dallas fell 1-0 to Nashville SC behind a late David Accam goal. The first half saw both teams play it safe and ease their way back into the season, but things opened up in the second half. Of Dallas’ fifteen shots, eight came after the 75th minute. Nevertheless, despite dominating possession, an impressive passing accuracy of 90%, and making nearly double the number of passes as Nashville—Dallas failed to secure a point.
The 5-3-2 is back
Luchi Gonzalez’s conservative 5-3-2 did not reflect Dallas’ status as favorites.
