DALLAS - The Sidekicks dropped the second game of the opening weekend 8-6 to the Monterrey Fury in front of 4,358 at Reunion Arena Sunday.
Dallas (1-1) rallied from a 6-2 deficit to within a goal when Shaun David forced a shot past Fury goalkeeper Christian Guemez at 6:12 of the fourth quarter. The Sidekicks turned to David Doyle as the sixth attacker with 3:27 left in the game and still trailing 6-5. That changed when Octavio Perez scored the eventual game-winner for Monterrey (1-1) with 1:54 remaining. Sinisa Alebic answered for Dallas 13 seconds later to make it 7-6 Fury. Armando Valdivia sealed it for Monterrey 40 seconds after that with an empty-net goal. It was Valdivia's fourth score of the game.
Monterrey built the 6-2 lead on four unanswered goals to start the third quarter, three of those on power plays. Valdivia tallied on a man-advantage at 6:27 and even strength at 7:15 of the third. Genoni Martinez scored five-on-three at 8:47 and Perez scored a power play goal at 9:22. The Fury had four power play goals in the game which was the most for a Sidekicks opponent since the merger.

Monterrey scored the next two as Valdivia evened the game for Monterrey at 4:18 of the first.
