FC Dallas rode their star striker Blas Perez to a crucial 2-1 victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday. 

The game had major playoff implications in the Western Conference, with FCD increasing their lead over the Whitecaps to eight points for fourth place. Perez opened the scoring in Frisco, Texas with an utterly ridiculous strike in the 20th minute. 

Perez added the game-winning goal in the 78th minute, capping a major performance.
