Game Grades: Toronto FC vs FC Dallas

Getting three points is the name of the game, and it really doesn’t matter that FC Dallas nabbed a win Sunday night they didn’t fully deserve.

Again with the sparse crowd at Pizza Hut Park. It’s so quiet you can hear the hand dryers in the restrooms (this is know as hyperbole, for you literal-minded folks out there). Twenty minutes in to this game and the preceding sentence is the most interesting thing that has occurred to me. The Lovely Cid observes that Marvell Wynne has, in her words, “presence” on the field.
Now I like the look of this.
Once again Matt Visinsky shares his excellent game photos with the readers of 3rd Degree. Enjoy.
Three points!
Ferreira was a pest all night, harassing TFC and Adrian Serioux with this relentless play. Ferreira was finally the difference maker he was brought to Dallas to be.
Winning ugly can be a beautiful thing. And FC Dallas desperately needed a win in Sunday’s return leg against Toronto FC after tying a week ago. Yes, it was ugly, but David Ferreira managed to be the beautiful difference-maker in the 3-2 win at sparsely populated and windy Pizza Hut Park.

Going for their first win of the season
FC Dallas walked out of BMO Field last weekend and snatched their first point of the season against Toronto FC, thanks to Pablo Ricchetti’s stunning heel shot in the 87th minute of the match. Now the home-and-home series shifts to Frisco where both the Reds and the Red Stripes look to grab the three points each left behind in last Saturday’s fake turf war.
