Matt Hedges headed home the winner three minutes from full time to lift FC Dallas to a 2-1 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps at BC Place Sunday.
An unmarked Michael Barrios ran onto a Maxi Urruti corner kick at the near post and flicked it to the back post where Hedges slammed the ball home for FC Dallas (15-6-8), which moved back atop the Western Conference with the win.
Santiago Mosquera gave the visitors the lead late in the first half on another set piece played in by Urruti, putting his glancing header from inside the six-yard box inside the far post.
The Whitecaps (11-11-7) leveled in the 66th minute with Alphonso Davies beating three FC Dallas defenders to get off a cross that Kei Kamara met and powerfully headed past Jesse Gonzalez from the edge of the six-yard box.
