Major League Soccer Playoffs, Los Angeles Galaxy Vs. FC Dallas: George John First Goal Is A Big One

Don Garber probably just threw up in his mouth a little.

George John was left unmarked on the far post and Brek Shea found him for the wide open goal, giving FC Dallas a 2-0 lead in the 56th minute.

The Galaxy continue to control the match, but the Kevin Hartman has done his best to make life difficult on MLS head honchos. Hartman, you may remember, was a poster child during last offseason's collective bargaining debate as he was left in limbo when the Kansas City Wizards chose not to re-sign the veteran goalkeeper.

Meanwhile, FC Dallas has made the most of their opportunities. When John scored, the Hoops had just two shots on goals — both of them resulting in goals.

The goal from John was his firs this season and just his second in his two-year MLS career.

If FC Dallas can hold on for the victory, they would play the Colorado Rapids in the MLS Cup final. The Rapids and FC Dallas are two of the lowest attended team in MLS, and neither has a Designated Player.
