Dallas won the game 2-1. At times, it even rocked the visitors back on their heels, with momentary doubt creeping in. But the 3-0 lead the Sounders carried over from the first leg was more than enough to win the series.

They emerged from the second leg of their Western Conference semifinal series against top-seeded FC Dallas bruised, battered and beaten — on the night, at least.
