A season of promise has been shattered unlike anything we’ve ever seen in sports, & the Mavs may have but 1 fix

Former MLS MVP Acosta, 30, joined the club at the end of the offseason and is poised to make an immediate impact.

Defenders Andrew Gutman and Leonardo Barroso scored two minutes apart late in the second half, then Hugo Cuypers added a penalty kick in stoppage time to clinch a 3-1 victory.

FC Dallas may have gained a key piece for the year. For a team which craves consistency and stability, Julio's debut means a great deal more than three points. It does not very frequently occur that a new individual enters and is able to win the game straight away.

FC Dallas defender Geovane Jesus will miss his second Major League Soccer season in a row because of a right knee injury.

Aside from finding Navarro and letting him cook, the Rapids’ strength this season so far has been absorbing pressure and surviving on defense.

In some moments, like the Rapids’ second goal in the 39th minute, Mihailovic was the left wing of a 4-4-3. Larraz found him out there in space, then Mihailovic floated a ball into the center, which Rafael Navarro high-pointed like a wide receiver to get a header on goal. Mihailovic was not credited with the assist due to a deflection on the pass.
