SAINT PAUL, Minn. - Santiago Moreno needed eight minutes on the pitch to end Minnesota United's night.
The midfielder entered in the 76th minute and finished Sam Sarver's cross in the 84th, splitting defenders and beating Drake Callender from point-blank range on a counter, the Associated Press account that ran on ABC and TSN reported.
FC Dallas walked out of Allianz Field with a 2-1 road win Wednesday and its seventh away victory of the season, the club's most in the post-penalty-shootout era and short only of the eight road wins Dallas recorded in 1997, per the club.
Kaick had opened the scoring in the 62nd minute with his third goal of the season, a career high and a second straight match with a finish, first-touching a feed from Joaquin Valiente. Valiente's assist was his 11th of the year, the first time a Dallas player has cleared 10 assists in a season since Michael Barrios had 16 in 2019, the club said.
Kelvin Yeboah equalized in the 73rd for Minnesota, his fourth goal in four games and 12th of the season according to the AP, before Moreno and Sarver answered.

Seventh road win, second in MLS
Dallas improved to 11-6-7 and 40 points. Minnesota fell to 7-9-8 and 29. The Loons have not won at Allianz Field since April 18, TSN noted, a home drought that framed the evening as much as Dallas' road form. The club lists seven away victories, second-most in MLS this season, and a franchise high for the current competition format.
Petar Musa sat out with an upper-body issue. The Croatian forward had 18 goals in 18 starts and was tied with Lionel Messi for the MLS lead, the AP reported, so Dallas won without its most prolific finisher. Moreno's third MLS goal of the season filled that gap from the bench rather than from the start sheet.
Sarver had entered roughly a minute before Moreno and supplied the decisive cross. Fresh legs, a vertical counter, and a finish through traffic have become a late-game pattern Dallas has leaned on while stacking road results.
Kaick's earlier strike off Valiente had given the visitors a lead that looked durable until Yeboah's equalizer forced the second half into a scramble; Moreno's answer eight minutes after entering restored order.
