“The work that they’ve put in during the week towards this game was unbelievable”.

In Sandy, Utah, Nat Borchers scored in stoppage time to lift Portland Timbers past Real Salt Lake.

“We just lost focus for a minute, and just like that, they scored two goals”, Dallas defender Je-Vaughn Watson said.

Saturday’s game was the opposite of the last FC Dallas-Galaxy meeting in Frisco, where the visitors led 1-0 until late in the game when FCD rallied for a 2-1 win.

“Wanted to thank Jürgen for his kind words”, the 35-year-old wrote. Dos Santos’ MLS debut last weekend was all the more sweet as it came against LA’s 2014 rivals the Seattle Sounders, a team now seemingly incapable of climbing out of a spiral and in danger of slipping out of playoff contention altogether.

A sell-out crowd at Toyota Stadium watched FC Dallas take a 1-0 only to lose to the Galaxy, 2-1, on a pair of goals five minutes apart early in the second half by Robbie Keane.

Key Player: Fabian Castillo – The rapid Dallas winger is always a threat and tends to save his best performances for home games.

The best chance of all came in the 68th, when Barrios sped into the penalty area from the right, got tangled up with Rogers and went down, but didn’t get the call from referee Ricardo Salazar. But that did come in their last away game at the Colorado Rapids two weeks ago and Bruce Arena will hope they can double up in what is a huge fixture. Maybe someone in the team will publicly congratulate Heaps on his new contract. A comfortable home win for New England and who knows?
