FC Dallas Nabs First-Ever Trophy With U.S. Open Cup Win

FC Dallas last night defeated the Revolution in the U.S. Open Cup Final "before a capacity crowd" at 20,500-seat Toyota Stadium (BOSTON GLOBE, 9/14). After "19 years of disappointment," FC Dallas "snapped its trophy drought" with last night's 4-2 win. The team, which is "currently leading the Supporters' Shield standings" with MLS' best regular-season record, hopes last night's trophy will be "the first of many." FC Dallas President Dan Hunt said, "It's unreal. The feeling is so amazing. ... There's a huge weight off our shoulders. My biggest fear was we weren't going to get the first one" (DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 9/14).
