Austin was reduced to 10 men when midfielder Daniel Pereira was dismissed in the 67th minute after receiving his second caution of the game. In the eighth minute of extra time, Nkosi Tafari scored to give Dallas a critical victory.
The visitors haven't won in their past six games in all competitions, but they were able to end their losing skid of three games by playing Minnesota United to a 1-1 tie. Seattle's Yeimar Andrade scored the game's first goal in the 17th minute before he also contributed to an own goal in the second half.
