A win on the road leads to some high grades.
Going into the match with the New England Revolution, most of us would have been content with one point. New England hadn’t lost at home in six matches this year and had only conceded four goals in those six matches. Add on top of that, FC Dallas was coming off a big week where they got six points from two tough Western Conference teams, as well as holding some key players out of the lineup due to the artificial turf. Once the dust settled, the Hoops had handed NE their first loss, scored four goals on them and did in a pretty convincing manner.
