FC Dallas Vs. Philadelphia Union: Castillo and Shea Help Dallas Win 2-0
Dallas pressured high midway through the second half with the new formation as Marvin Chavez and Fabian Castillo linked up on the wings and then Castillo broke free and slotted a ball to Shea for the game's first goal. Shea scored his third of the year and is making the most of his new contract extension.
Just before the end of the first half Dallas struck again with Castillo. Jackson Goncalves found some space on the wing and crossed a perfect ball into the penalty box where Castillo sat free to head it home.
The Union couldn't respond in the second half as they subbed both Carlos Ruiz and Jack McInerney to begin the second half. The chances began to come but none could go past Dallas keeper Kevin Hartman. Philadelphia lacked a lot of shape in the midfield in both halves which allowed Dallas to pressure with Chavez and Castillo.
The win moves Dallas into a tie with the Los Angeles Galaxy for first place overall in Major League Soccer with 17 points. Philadelphia remains second in the Eastern conference with the loss.
