NOTES:
• With tonight's win, FC Dallas now holds a record of 11-6-3 (36 points) and moves into first place in the Western Conference, two points ahead of Houston which lost 1-0 to the Colorado Rapids tonight. The 36 points are also most in MLS, three points ahead of New England which hosts LA on Sunday.
• FCD is now 6-2-1 at Pizza Hut Park this year. The team is undefeated over its last six regular season games, having won four and tied two.
• The win was the team's first come-from-behind win of the year...
• Dallas is now 13-12-6 all-time versus Columbus, having outscored the Crew 44-42...even so, it was only the second victory over Columbus in the past ten meetings between the clubs.
• Arturo's goal was his fifth over his last six starts (in all competitions)...Ruiz has scored five goals in his last seven starts (all competitions).
• Clarence's goal was his first regular season goal since July 27, 2005, when he scored both goals in a 3-2 loss at New York. Goodson also scored the first goal on Tuesday in FCD's 2-1 Open Cup Quarterfinal win over the Charleston Battery.
• Goodson is the only FCD player to start all 20 regular season games this year...he also becomes the 10th different FCD player to score a goal this year...finally, he is the 8th different player to score a game-winning goal this year.
• Dax McCarty registered his team-leading sixth assist of the year, finding Goodson on a corner kick. It was the team's first goal off a corner kick in the regular season, though McCarty has also assisted on corner kick headers in SuperLiga (Abe Thompson vs. LA) and in the Open Cup (Goodson vs. Charleston).
• Ray Burse is undefeated in goal in four starts; tying his SuperLiga debut with Guadalajara (1-1), winning the Open Cup quarterfinal game over Charleston (2-1), and winning both MLS regular season games (1-0 over Colorado before tonight).
• Adrian Serioux was replaced by Aaron Pitchkolan in the 20th minute after sustaining a strained left hamstring...Pablo Ricchetti sustained a left Achilles injury and was replaced in 77th minute by Ricardinho, who made his MLS debut.

• Juan Toja missed his first game of the season with a right sprained ankle. Dario Sala (left knee), Shaka Hislop (back), Alex Yi (left hamstring), Kenny Cooper (right tibia), Roberto Mina (right knee) also were out with injuries.
• Tonight's game was the team's sixth in the last 18 days; the team went 3-1-2 during the stretch, playing SuperLiga, Open Cup, and regular season games.
• FCD travels to Houston next Sunday to face the Dynamo on Aug. 19 at Robertson Stadium at 6 pm CT (Galavision and FSN-SW).
• Game time temperature tonight was listed as 96 degrees.
• Tonight's attendance was 14,818.
• Steve Morrow on the game: "I thought it was a great game of soccer; very entertaining. Credit to my boys again, I've touched on it many times here before; they never know when they're down. They never know when they're beaten; they keep playing right until the end and we did that again tonight, even with ten men. I thought it was a great effort. We were a little bit tired in the first half and came out a little bit sleeping. I thought we deserved to be a goal down. It woke us up a little bit. We gave up a bad penalty as well which I was disappointed with. We were definitely gaining momentum in the game and Marcelo got a red card as well. Nothing but praise and credit for the boys; I thought it was a great comeback. To come back 3-2 with ten men is just a fantastic effort."
