FC Dallas plays an ugly game and advances in the US Open Cup.
FC Dallas managed to survive and advance in last night’s US Open Cup game against FC Tulsa. In tournaments like that, you don’t have to be great as long as you find a way to advance. The next round’s draw will be on Friday to help determine who FCD gets next.
