Head coach Jim Curtin struck gold with his three substitutes as all three played a critical role in the two late goals that snatched victory from the jaws of defeat against FC Dallas at home on Saturday night.
Alejandro Bedoya was the hero of the night with a fine piece of skill to weave his way through the box, get the ball onto his left foot and fire a shot through the legs of an FC Dallas defender and past a diving Jimmy Mauer for the stoppage time winner.
On the winner, substitute Ilsinho lofted the pass into the box to the feet of Bedoya that started the play after providing a much needed spark off the bench to keep the Dallas defense on its heels in the closing minutes of the game.
