Chances were happening, but the end result seemed to be alluding Eric Quill\u2019s club on the night. <\/p>\n<p>But then Petar Musa got the ball where he is most dangerous. And the game was pretty much in FC Dallas\u2019 corner. A frustrating draw turned into a thunderous win that saw Dallas finish the night in second place and a single point back from first in the Western Conference. <\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s discuss the result and what it all means.<\/p>\n<p>Most complete performance\u201cNights like that can be frustrating, but what I love about this group is its resilience. The guys found their moment and delivered when it mattered most. This was a team effort, and these players deserve all the credit and excitement in that locker room. I hope they enjoy tonight, but we have to get back after it.\u201d &#8211; Quill on the game<\/p>\n<p>If we had a full week to really dive into this game, you\u2019d probably hear this phrase a lot. This was possibly Dallas\u2019 most complete performance of the season. And it coming this late in the season after the club clinched a playoff spot is perfect timing. <\/p>\n<p>And yes, this one was left very late. <\/p>\n<p>Dallas controlled this one from the jump. Outside of maybe a couple small moments, San Jose never truly threatened Dallas, even with a guy like Timo Werner. <\/p>\n<p>The chances were there multiple times on the night and for the most part, it seemed like as good as the chances were, the finishing was lacking. <\/p>\n<p>The go-head goal was what this group was lacking for 80 minutes or so. Santiago Moreno played a perfect long ball to Bernard Kamungo. As much as I get frustrated with how Kamungo handles things inside the penalty area, he wisely made a great play to make a defender miss and pull a second defender over before laying it off to Petar Musa to do the rest. <\/p>\n<p>          This post is for paying subscribers only<\/p>\n<p>      <a class=\"kg-button gh-btn rounded-btn! bg-brand! text-brand-contrast! hover:brightness-110 font-medium!\" data-portal=\"signup\" href=\"#\/portal\/signup\">Subscribe now<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-typ\">Already have an account? <a class=\"kg-link text-typ! hover:text-brand! hover:opacity-100! decoration-2! underline-offset-2!\" data-portal=\"signin\" href=\"#\/portal\/signin\">Sign in<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A breakdown of FC Dallas\u2019 draw vs San Jose, including tactical adjustments, key performances, and what it means&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":508563,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[88,90,89],"class_list":["post-508562","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-jose","tag-san-jose","tag-san-jose-headlines","tag-san-jose-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/508562","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=508562"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/508562\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/508563"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=508562"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=508562"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=508562"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
