A Clean Sheet in Texas
FC Dallas extended their unbeaten run with a 0‑0 stalemate against LA Galaxy, securing their fourth shutout of the MLS season on a chilly evening in Fort Worth, Texas.
Goalkeeper Jonathan Sirois turned in a career‑high nine saves, a performance that earned him his first clean sheet for the club and left the opposition frustrated in their search for a breakthrough.
Midfielder Nolan Norris anchored the defensive line, logging 18 defensive actions that included 15 clearances, two tackles and a crucial interception, helping to preserve the narrow margin.
Discipline Across Both Sides
The match was punctuated by a flurry of cautions, beginning with Patrickson Delgado’s early yellow in the fourth minute, followed by bookings for Chris Cappis in the 31st, Kaick in the 35th, Jacob Glesnes of LA Galaxy in the 53rd, and a later caution for Nolan Norris in the 63rd minute.
John Nelson added to the yellow‑card tally in the 86th minute, underscoring the competitive edge of a game that saw both sides fighting for every ball.
FC Dallas fielded a backline that included Sirois, Norris, Osaze Urhoghide, Shaq Moore and veteran Herman Johansson, a lineup that blended youthful energy with experienced heads.
Despite the absence of goals, the encounter was far from dull, as the defensive masterclass and the string of bookings provided ample drama for the 2,000‑plus fans packed into the stadium.
