The Fire entered the game knowing that they needed a victory to keep any realistic hope of making the playoffs alive. They currently trail the field by six points and have just two matches remaining after this.
FC Dallas was absolutely dominant throughout the half. They held a 10-2 shots advantage and only the spectacular play of Sean Johnson kept it from being 3-0. Johnson made great stops on both Jackson and Fabian Castillo. On Jackson's goal, he got behind defender Jalil Anibaba and beat Johnson to the far post, despite the goalkeeper getting a hand on the ball.
