The annual preseason match of FC Dallas versus SMU normally takes place late on a Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon. The sun is usually shining and it’s usually pretty breezy outside. To be quite honest, FC Dallas usually blows SMU out of the water. Friday night’s game was anything but ordinary. It was a cold and rainy night in which FC Dallas spent the majority of the game down a goal. They came uncomfortably close to losing, but thanks to some last minute heroics from two specific players were able to leave Westcott Field with a win.
