FC Dallas exploded for two goals to take a 2-1 lead just after halftime over the Portland Timbers. Defender Ryan Hollingshead scored the first after a long buildup in Portland’s third of the pitch. Hollingshead received a pass from Fabian Castillo and attempted to put a though ball between a pair of defenders only to have his pass deflect back into space. The 2012 Pac-12 Player of the Year reacted first and finished with a sharp left-footed shot into the back of the net.
