FC Dallas became the first MLS team to clinch a playoff spot last weekend. Dont expect to see Dallas ease off the gas pedal over the final few weeks of the regular season. The Western Conference leaders still have the inside track at claiming their first-ever Supporters Shield.Dallas can take a big step forward in that race with a victory or draw when it plays at Real Salt Lake on Saturday in Sandy, Utah.The Hoops (15-8-7) are four points ahead of the Los Angeles Galaxy and five points over Eastern Conference leaders Toronto FC for the Supporters Shield. Dallas has a good recent track record in Utah, earning points in four of its last six visits to Rio Tinto Stadium.The Hoops are looking to snap a two-game winless streak after losing to Colorado 1-0 and playing to a 2-2 draw against New York City FC on consecutive weekends.Dallas rallied to take a 2-1 lead over NYCFC on goals from Maxi Urruti and Michael Barrios, but could not prevent an equalizer off a Khiry Shelton header in the 78th minute.Urruti and Barrios are dangerous attackers who can give Salt Lake plenty of trouble. The duo has combined for 17 goals this season. Barrios has scored three times in the last four games.Real Salt Lake (12-10-8) faces Dallas needing a positive result to avoid losing more ground in the playoff picture. RSL is coming off back-to-back 1-0 losses to Portland and Houston.Finding offense may be tough again if Javier Morales isnt ready to go after suffering a quadriceps strain against the Timbers last weekend.Consistency on offense has been an issue at times for Real this season. RSL has been shut out in back-to-back games three times this season and has been blanked eight times overall. Greg Maddux Jersey .

Hank Aaron Jersey . It is a cliché dragged out by fans and pundits regularly when discussions take place around which teams are better than others. An allrounder on debut took 6 wickets for 41, and a rookie opener hit 55 and 36 not out to claim the games highest aggregate, yet it was day threes bowling effort that broke the match open, New Zealand captain Kane Williamson said.Though New Zealand had secured a first-innings lead of 67, Pakistan had moved to 58 for 1 in the second innings, and appeared to be settling in, on a flattening surface. In an extended spell of tight and hostile bowling, however, New Zealand struck a double-blow, claiming the wickets of Babar Azam and Younis Khan in quick succession. They also accounted for Misbah-ul-Haq, Azhar Ali and Sarfraz Ahmed in a 15-ball burst in the third session, and when Mohammad Amir departed not long after, Pakistan had lost six wickets for 47 runs - their match prospects in tatters.Without a doubt our bowling effort in the second innings was the decisive period, Williamson said. We were hoping for some movement off the surface and Pakistan showed a lot of resistance - especially early - and were very patient. But the way that four seamers got into spells and held their areas for long periods at a time, it was world-class. They passed it over for the next bloke to take up the baton, and it was a huge effort being patient and getting the rewards later on in the day yesterday.We didnt get the ball to do a huge amount in the second innings, but we held our lines and our lengths really consistently for a long period of time. It was really important to make that adjustment quickly and not get too greedy and overpitch, because in the first innings you did need to bowl fuller to get those rewards.The debutants - both from Auckland, and both sporting moustaches - received praise from their captain, given their impact on the match. In addition to his record-breaking first-innings haul, Colin de Grandhomme also struck 29 crucial first-innings runs, and claimed a further scalp in 144 second-innings overs that only cost 23.ddddddddddddolin was picked because his style of bowling complements the other bowlers, Williamson said. Tim Southee and Trent Boult are terrific swing bowlers, but when it isnt swinging as much and you want to exploit a bit of nip out the surface, someone like Colin might be a good option, we felt. It turned out he certainly was. You do have to put the ball in the right area and he showed his composure as well, to execute his plans for a long period of time with the ball.Having top-scored in the first innings, Jeet Raval also proved a capable slip fielder, taking three catches in the cordon, before also completing an excellent diving catch in the outfield on day four.Jeet came into international cricket and it looked like hed been there for years, Williamson said. He was very calm, very relaxed, and stuck to the game plan. To go out and open the innings, against a very good bowling attack, on a surface that was offering something to the seam bowlers and achieve what he did was great to see, particularly in the first innings. Then he showed his composure again in the chase for the victory.The victory was Williamsons first as captain, both on home soil and against a top-nine opposition. It snapped a streak of four losses accrued on tours of India and South Africa.Its nice to get a win, but more importantly to have a performance that didnt show too much baggage from the past. There were a couple of really tough tours in South Africa and India. It was important we learned a lot, but at the same time, put some of that baggage away and tried to focus on what we needed to do here.The second Test begins from November 25, in Hamilton, where New Zealand could seal their first series win against Pakistan since 1984-85.
