After drawing against Charlotte FC – with just one point – Dallas scored early in what became a 3-0 victory over Necaxa.

In the Round of 16 against Liga MX side Mazatlan, Dallas traded goals via a 48th-minute penalty for FCD followed by a 57′ strike from Mazatlan.

But substitute Eugene Ansah saved the day for the Hoops to host this game tonight.
