Just minutes into the second half, Tyrone Mears worked the ball down the pitch for the Sounders and beat his opposing number just outside the box. Mears' subsequent bouncing cross went right across Dallas' goal and to Nico Lodeiro, who kicked it into the back of the net to make it 1-1 on the night and 4-1 on aggregate. The away goal means that Dallas has to score at least 4 more to win.
