Dallas Trinity Women secured their first victory of the USL Super League campaign with a 3-0 win over Brooklyn Women on Saturday night. The result lifts Dallas to five points from four games, while Brooklyn remain winless with zero points from their opening four matches. And here's the thing — the hosts had been struggling before this one, picking up just one point from their previous three games.
O. Gamero opened the scoring in the eighth minute, giving Dallas early momentum. Brooklyn paid the price for their naivety, with S. Castain doubling the lead just before the half-hour mark. To be fair, Dallas had the deeper squad and managed the game well. A. Williams received a yellow card for Brooklyn in the 33rd minute before being substituted at the break.
The second half saw Brooklyn make desperate changes, with four players brought on simultaneously in the 65th minute. J. Hamid added a third goal in the 88th minute, and by then Brooklyn had nothing to lose. The visitors picked up two more yellow cards through J. Shimkin and T. King, while Dallas kept their discipline with just one booking for J. Thompson.
This result ends Brooklyn's winless run in the worst possible way. They've now lost all four group games, including heavy defeats against Sporting Jacksonville and DC Power Women. Dallas, meanwhile, showed character after a poor start that included three losses in five matches. The wheels came off for Brooklyn, and they've been left exposed all season.
