FRISCO, Texas – FC Dallas’ (15-11-7, 52 points) 2-0 win over the Whitecaps FC on Saturday night assured the club of at least the first wild card position in the 2011 MLS Cup Playoffs.
Now, FC Dallas’ attention returns to the CONCACAF Champions League tournament. In arguably the biggest match of the season, Dallas hosts Toronto FC on Tuesday, Oct. 18 at Pizza Hut Park. Set to kick off at 7 p.m. CT, an FC Dallas win will advance the club to the quarterfinals of the illustrious competition.
FC Dallas returns to MLS competition this Saturday, Oct. 22 when it travels to San Jose to face the Earthquakes (7-12-14, 35 points). Currently tied with rival Real Salt Lake (15-11-7, 52 points), an FC Dallas win or tie against the Earthquakes, coupled with an RSL loss, would boost the defending Western Conference Champions into an automatic berth in the Western Conference Semifinals. FC Dallas’ match against San Jose will be broadcast live on FOX Sports Southwest Plus beginning at 9:30 p.m. CT.
