Following a dismal performance midweek, FC Dallas was looking to bounce back against an up-and-down Chicago Fire team. A squad that hadn’t won an away game in two years, but also a squad that had beaten Sporting KC the match before. In a lot of ways, Saturday night could have been a trap game. FCD could had very easily been looking ahead to a semifinal match against Houston Dynamo or the big game at the end of the week against Colorado. Instead, they came out, dominated the play, and had a pretty convincing win against a team they should beat.
