FC Dallas returns to Open Cup action tonight as they take on Sporting Kansas City in the Round of 16. Dallas have not won in Kansas City since 2011, but are on a five game winning streak (across all competitions).
We’re a bit over the map for this one. On one hand, this team is looking really, really good. On the other, it’s a road match at a place where this team has historically struggled to get a result.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Result for FCD | FCD Score | Opposition Score | Commentary |
| Ben Lyon | Win | 2 | 0 | I haven't slept in weeks, so my reasoning is all about a Purple Blob Elf who kept mumbling something that sounded like 'Busca la Forma'. |
