 Feilhaber set Kansas City on the road to victory when he curled a
free kick around the wall and into the far corner in the 65th
minute.
The Brazilian-born American international added a second goal 11
minutes later from the penalty spot, after Dallas goalkeeper Jesse
Gonzales fouled Dominic Dwyer inside the box.
Dallas created little for most of the match but gave themselves hope
with a soft goal in the 80th minute when midfielder Victor Ulloa
squeezed a shot past Kansas City goalkeeper Jon Kempin.
However, Kansas City locked up the three points with a third goal
when English striker Dwyer blasted home from 14 yards in the 83rd
minute.
The result, which halted a five-game winless streak, lifted Kansas
City to fourth in the Western Conference with 44 points from 28
matches.
The top six teams make the playoffs after the 34-game regular
season. Despite the victory, Kansas City are still not totally safe,
only four points clear of seventh-placed San Jose.
