FC Dallas vs. Minnesota United | Full Match Highlights | 4th of July Showdown!

And it's been fruitful so far. It looks like he's back to his best, starting out on that left, getting in and around Moussa and creating some chances. And he's also been back in form. So both of their strikers on the pitch at the same time, slightly different positions. 13 points back of the Loons, who have been in the top three in the West since the beginning of May. 7, 7, and 5. This looks dangerous. This high press. There's Kaik, the young 19-year-old, turns it over. It's led through to Yeboah, and Paz is out to make a massive stop. Five minutes in. Overhit by Gressel. You're always keen to point out the fullbacks, the defenders, three of them with four assists. Pereira. And this is a whack taken by Harvey. Harvey, his enthusiasm. Look at how he turns, like an attacking midfielder here. That's one goal. Really good strike. Straight at pass. All started back at the Cotton Bowl when they were the Bern. Had a lot of success on this holiday, too. Farfan. Great ball, Acosta. Sharp little drive in, and it's to Farrington. And the shot deflected and then headed high. It's a great save to me from the sheer power that Farrington puts on this ball. Great ball by Acosta. Watch Farrington. This is a really good first touch here. Unbelievable. It's just gone straight into his body there. It's a good save by St. Clair, but I would say to Farrington. Midpoint of this first half. Minnesota's shown their strengths in some areas, and FC Dallas has counted with some good stuff. And here's an open look from the smash that goes off of the toes of Oluwaseyi right at Martin Paz. It's Julian Gressel. And it falls for Harvey, and then knocked in. Whether it's Harvey who claims his first MLS goal or the last touch off a Dallas player, Loones repeat the script. Set piece goal. 1-0. Way to a team that's really good at set pieces. Oh, Harvey's very close to the offside line there. That might be checked, but it goes to the back post. And Harvey is not being marked. That is really, really poor defending. Is there a pick here or anything? He's just standing at the back post. It's got to be better than that from FC Dallas. Nonetheless, 1-0 to the Loones. Was he surprised he was that? Joaquin Pereira. Fans here have been sitting on their hands most of the half. Pereira in, skips across, and then goes wide. That back post, Romero, it's not his first header from close range as well. That one hard to really adjust, just like the last one. I'll tell you in a second. Now it's Patrickson. Shaq Moore, Acosta! Right on the welcome mat, and St. Clair secures. Julian Gressel, Pereira. Pick your poison here. Gressel nods it in, and it's headed by Markanek. Wow, that was close. Went in the opposite direction. Martin Paz coming out. That's Hormuza. Kaik, and it's caught by St. Clair. Kind of changed what we were discussing with the narrative of June was they rotated heavily. They took their lumps in that game on the road mid-May. Houston. At Houston, which we did. That toss in. Markanek! Oh, this is coming out of central casting. A long throw, a Markanek goal. Rinse and repeat, 2-0. A flick on, and a man at the back post. Everybody's marked up. Taniyolo Mache doesn't even jump. And there's Markanek at the back post, putting it into the back of the net. There's no fancy analysis. You've just got to go and win that header. How is that header missed with that kind of jump? And Markanek at the back post. He's obviously not going to miss from there. Wow, 2-0 on set pieces again. The benefit, they still have a half an hour. FC Dallas down by two. Farfan Pedrinho, who is right off the bench. Ramiro. Now Patrickson. Good look for Shaq Moore. Picking up steam at St. Clair. Ibiaga done a lot of heavy lifting on that back line this season. He, too, just coming back. Ibiaga from recent suspension. They were down to nine in that game against the Earthquakes. Petermusa. Farrington. The chest, the settle. Logan Farrington for the second year running. Scores against Minnesota United at home. And Dallas upholds back in it. Second year play out. And look at the chest to find a bit of space. Open up onto that right foot and post it in. He can hit it left or right foot. Versatile, a big man, and lots of attributes. This is a great finish into the corner. It's what his team needed. And then right back into the game. The casual march. Musa. Wow. Zing. How about that pass? Lucho Acosta. Full steam ahead. Patrickson to the bar. There's some belief in the building. A bottle rocket on the 4th of July. Split in two. Here's this shot from Patrickson. Great strike. You can't hit it much better than that. Slowly rising. Back close from it becoming 2-2 right now. Dallas are feeling it at the moment. Jack Moore down for Farrington. Now it's Patrickson. Deflection. Acosta. St. Clair. Feline quickness. Acosta's activity in the box is good here. There's a strike. You see him coming over. I don't know if they and St. Clair got a touch. It's just a little high from Acosta. Miro. Sarver just gives it away cheaply. Pereira. For Sarver. And that's it.
