United midfielder Kurt Morsink nearly tied it the 79th minute with a shot from outside the penalty circle that hit the crossbar. United (1-6-0) was shut out for the fifth time this season.
FC Dallas goalkeeper Kevin Hartman had four saves, including two within an 11-second span on shots by Danny Allsopp and Adam Cristman from within the penalty box.
FC Dallas did not get a shot on goal until Daniel Hernandez’s shot from 25 yards away in the 50th minute before finishing with seven.
