David Texeira’s second-half goal was enough to lock down the No.1 spot in the west for visiting Dallas
It wasn’t a pretty game for FC Dallas but a David Texeira second-half goal was all that was needed to overcome a resilient Real Salt Lake side, 1-0.
It was a contest that was also marred by a strong rain storm that came through in the second half, with the precipitation starting right as Texeira buried the would-be winner.
The victory by Dallas also officially eliminates Real Salt Lake, which will miss its first MLS playoffs in seven seasons.
