ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) Mauro Diaz and David Texeira scored to help FC Dallas knock off Orlando City SC 2-0 on Saturday.

In first-half stoppage time, Fabian Castillo drew a foul in the penalty area and Diaz calmly buried the penalty kick.

Orlando thought it had the equalizer in the 56th minute, but Pedro Ribeiro's goal was waived off after he was ruled offside.

Dallas (9-5-5) struck again in the 64th minute. Castillo's through ball found Victor Ulloa, who made a left-footed feed to Texeira at the spot. Texeira then tapped it past Tally Hall.

Carlos Rivas missed a penalty kick in the 89th minute for Orlando City (6-7-6).

Orlando City was without leading scorer Kaka, who was shown a straight red card in a 1-1 draw with Real Salt Lake, and Cyle Larin, who played for Canada in its Gold Cup match against Jamaica. Dallas was missing five players to international service, including Blas Perez (Panama) and Tesho Akindele (Canada).

The game was delayed 30 minutes at the start due to storms passing through the area.
