Jeremy Ebobisse added the insurance goal in the 83rd minute with an assist from Niko Tsakiris – the first of his career in 48 matches with 28 appearances. Ebobisse's goal was his sixth of the season.

Defender Sebastian Ibiaga received a pass from Sebastian Lletget and slotted home in the 90th minute to put Dallas within goal. This is Ibega's second goal this season and third in 154 matches. Lletget's assist was his eighth of the season.

Daniel De Souza Brito finished with three saves in his 10th start for the Earthquakes this season.
