FC Dallas crushes Kansas City 6-0

FC Dallas crushes Kansas City 6-0

FC Dallas must have been wondering where the offense was going to come from after the sold striker Kenny Cooper to 1860 Munich earlier in the week, but they didn’t have to wait long for an answer. Jeff Cunningham scored the first of his four goals in the 39th minute which was followed three minutes later by the first of David Ferreira’s two goals.

The halftime score was the same as the previous weekend, but in that game FC Dallas conceded four second half goals to lose to the Colorado Rapids. FC Dallas were out to make sure that would not happen again. They dominated play in the second half and got three more goals from Cunningham starting with one from the penalty spot in the 66th minute and then again in the 75th minute and 89th minute and one more from Ferreira in the 78th.

The margin of victory was the largest in club history and the six goals tied for the most in club history. All in all, a dominant performance by FC Dallas.
