After several winless months, FC Dallas has finally secured an MLS win.

For the first time since July 22, FC Dallas tasted victory by taking down the Colorado Rapids, 2-0, on Wednesday night at Toyota Stadium. The win is the club’s first in 10 games as FC Dallas is now in a dogfight to make the postseason in the West.

It took just nine minutes for FCD to do all of the damage, starting with a sixth-minute finish from Maynor Figueroa. As Hernan Grana’s ball weaved through the entire box, Figueroa darted to the back post and finished off a tap-in, giving his side the early lead.

Three minutes later, Roland Lamah doubled that lead on another Grana assist. After receiving a ball over the top from Mauro Diaz, Grana centered a pass towards the penalty spot, and Lamah smashed it first-time for the second finish.

It proved to be all FCD would need, as the club sealed three points from the last-place Rapids. On the other end, Jesse Gonzalez was called upon for just three saves in what was a relatively quiet night for an FCD defense that has struggled in recent weeks.

Next up, FC Dallas visits Orlando City while the Rapids face a desperate Montreal Impact team at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.
