Fabian Castillo had a goal and two assists as FC Dallas beat the Houston Dynamo 4-1 on Friday night in the Texas Derby.
Dallas moved into first place in the Western Conference and will host Houston on June 26 and Oct. 4. The teams will play multiple regular-season games for the first time since 2011 because of the league's offseason realignment.
Castillo assisted on two first-half goals as FC Dallas built a 2-0 lead midway through the half. He back-heeled a pass near midfield to Ryan Hollingshead, who raced down the field in space and finished from distance.
Castillo ran down a long ball in the 21st minute on another counterattack, dribbled to the baseline and found a trailing David Texeira.
Giles Barnes pulled Houston to 2-1 in the 32nd minute on a free kick over the wall to the top corner.
But Dallas scored twice in the first 10 minutes of the second half to pull away. Mauro Diaz took three touches along the 18-yard line and hammered a shot past goalkeeper Tyler Deric in the 52nd minute for a 3-1 lead. Three minutes later, Castillo flicked in a goal after being left alone on the left side.
Real Salt Lake got an own goal from San Jose in the 71st minute and tied the Earthquakes, ending a 387-minute scoreless streak. It was the second longest goal drought stretch in RSL club history.
Victor Bernardez was running toward his own goal to defend a glancing header to Alvaro Saborio but his clearance attempt chipped goalkeeper David Bingham, who had come out of his area.
Real Salt Lake avoided losing two straight home games for the first time since 2012.
Chris Wondolowski scored a controversial goal in the 19th minute to give San Jose a 1-0 lead. Shea Salinas' shot took a deflection to Wondolowski in an offside position, but the flag stayed down and Wondolowski put in his fourth goal of the season.
San Jose's J.J. Koval nearly headed in a goal in the fourth minute of stoppage time.
