FC Dallas is back in the groove and will be looking to stay that way when it hosts struggling D.C. United on Tuesday for an Independence Night match at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas.
After a stretch of three losses in five games created mostly by a brutal early season schedule, FC Dallas (7-3-7, 28 points in 17 matches) has regained its stride and is unbeaten in a five-match span across all competitions.
The latest step forward was a 3-1 win on Friday at home against then-Eastern Conference-leading Toronto FC in which Roland Lamah scored twice in the first 21 minutes and Maximiliano Urruti added a goal and an assist.
