Then, heavy rains and lightning forced officials to end the game and reschedule the game for Thursday morning and for it to be played in its entirety.
And, Thursday morning at BMO Field in Toronto, Jack Stewart, a defender loaned to them by the NSC Minnesota Stars of the North American Soccer League and who didn't play in Wednesday's game, scored the game's lone goal in the 45th minute off a pass from Ugo Ihemelu as FC Dallas won the game 1-0 and now leads the group wth a 2-0-0 record and six points.
