FC Dallas made it through to the playoffs on the final day of the regular season thanks to a convincing 6-0 Decision Day win over Sporting Kansas City, which they needed having failed to take the three points in any of their last four matches prior to the final day of the campaign.
The Texan side went into the 2019 MLS Cup Playoffs as the No.7 seed and faced a tricky trip to Seattle, the No.2 seed. They never held the lead in the match, falling behind three times. However, they were able to equalise after each goal they conceded, only losing to a Jordan Morris goal in the second half of extra time.
