Outstanding performance
St. Louis City•MidfielderSt. Louis City raced out of the blocks through Simon Becher inside three minutes, but Dallas responded almost immediately as Shaquell Moore leveled from a corner sequence. Daniel Edelman restored the hosts' lead right before halftime after a flurry of St. Louis chances, and substitute Carlo Holse made it 3-1 just after the hour mark to seemingly put the game out of Dallas's reach. But Dallas refused to fold, with Sebastien Ibeagha pulling one back in the 81st minute to set up a nervy finish. St. Louis controlled the game statistically with 54% possession and superior passing accuracy, but Dallas matched them shot for shot and created enough danger in transition to make the difference in dangerous attacks tell late on. The result leaves both sides with plenty to ponder given St. Louis's precarious league position, while Dallas's fighting spirit in the final stretch will offer encouragement despite the away point feeling like two dropped given their first-half generosity defensively.
