FC Dallas finds form once more with win over Seattle

FRISCO - Mauro Diaz and Michael Barrios scored and FC Dallas beat the Seattle Sounders 2-0 on Saturday night, just three days after defeating another Cascadia foe in a 2-1 win over the Portland Timbers.

Diaz buried a penalty kick into the top-left corner of the net in the third minute after Walker Zimmerman drew a foul in the box against Seattle's Chad Marshall.

Then, Barrios dropped the ball to Mauro Rosales, who replaced Diaz in the 79th minute, then darted behind the defense and slotted a high-feed from Rosales through the legs of Seattle defender Brad Evans and past goalkeeper Stefan Frei in the 80th minute.

Chris Seitz had three saves for his second shutout of the season for Dallas (7-4-2), now unbeaten in seven home matches this year. The Sounders (4-5-1) lost for just the second time in seven games after starting the season with three losses.
