FC Dallas beats Real Salt Lake
Saturday, August 26, 2009 – Frisco, Texas
FC Dallas continued their good form at home with a 3-0 victory over Real Salt Lake. Jeff Cunningham scored two goals to move into a tie with Conor Casey atop the Golden Boot standings at 15 goals a piece. This is particularly amazing considering Jeff only had 1 goal midway through the season. Cunningham’s first goal came in the 5th minute with the assist from Dave van den Bergh.
David Ferreira doubled Dallas’ lead in the 10th minute as van den Bergh put a nice ball through the defense to a charging Ferreira. The assist marked van den Bergh’s 10th on the season tying him for 2nd in the MLS and marking his career high.
Cunningham scored again in the 87th minute with a blast from about 25 yards out.
A good performance from FC Dallas from start to finish. The next game is Wednesday at the Cotton Bowl against the New England Revolution.
