The most recent MLS team to get their own soccer-specific stadium today hosted
the team who will get theirs next (this June), in today's
"MLS First Kick" 11th season-opener on ABC Sports.
FC Dallas showed they will be a force to be reckoned with the 2006 MLS season,
beginning their campaign with an exciting 3-2 come-from-behind victory against
the Chicago Fire at Pizza Hut Park on Saturday afternoon.
Chicago's Chad Barrett opened the scoring in the 12th minute before Arturo
Alvarez answered back for the Hoops in the 31st minute. Chris Rolfe then put the
Fire back into the lead in the 54th minute, only to see FC Dallas claim the
victory with a pair of goals in a four-minute span from Roberto Mina (66') and
late sub Kenny Cooper (70').
Cooper's game-winner was his first MLS goal, scored off a header, only moments
after entering the match.
Tonight on ESPN-2, the L.A. Galaxy will host the New England Revolution in
a rematch of the 2005 MLS Cup Championship. Kickoff is at 8 pm PT.
