Days after celebrating their first trophy in 19 years, FC Dallas went to the Bronx and came agonizingly close to a huge road win against NYCFC. The double (USOC and Supporters' Shield) seems like a good bet. We know Oscar Pareja's starting XI is elite, but does this team have the depth to absorb a significant blow and still make a run at the treble?

FC Dallas had a banner week away from MLS, winning the U.S. Open Cup on Tuesday. On Saturday they faced a tough task at New York City FC, and even though Tesho Akindele missed a golden opportunity to win it, a 2–2 draw will suit Dallas just fine.

Can anything remove FC Dallas from the top perch of these rankings? The current league leaders followed up their mid-week U.S. Open Cup final victory by travelling to New York City FC and coming away with a point in an exciting 2-2 draw. Each team will feel like they should’ve earned more, given that both had one-on-one opportunities in the closing moments, so a draw is probably a fair result. FCD will have a tough match this week at Real Salt Lake, who got the better of them last time they met with a 1-0 victory.
