It’s long been said that there’s no such thing as an ugly win. But Wednesday night’s win in Dallas? It came close.
1) All season, the Timbers have found their best results by sitting deep and countering. Funny thing is, that’s been FC Dallas’s strategy, too. So the question entering their Wednesday night match-up was, which team would come out of their bunker and try to control the game? Which team would blink first?
Turns out, Dallas blinked first. We sat deep, and they came at us.
Dallas ended the game with 65% possession to our 35%.
