DC United vs FC Dallas

FC Dallas came to Audi Field and absolutely dismantled DC United with a dominant 0-4 performance that left the home crowd deflated. The visitors were clinical on the break, already up 2-0 by half-time, and there was never any sense the hosts could fight back despite enjoying more possession. Dallas controlled what mattered most, limiting United to four shots on target while creating eight of their own. The damage was done early and often. Michael Collodi was the standout performer for Dallas, pulling the strings in midfield with a composed display that earned him man of the match honors. United pressed hard in patches—they had six corners to Dallas's three—but couldn't convert their opportunities into anything meaningful. This was a chastening afternoon for the home side.
