LA Galaxy dominated possession and created plenty of chances at Dignity Health Sports Park, but couldn't find a way past FC Dallas on the night. The hosts finished with 18 attempts and nine on target, controlling the game for long stretches. Dallas, meanwhile, stayed compact and dangerous on the counter, mustering the same number of total shots despite seeing less of the ball. The 0-0 draw leaves both sides frustrated. Galaxy had the better of it throughout, and on another day those nine efforts on goal might have yielded at least one finish. Jonathan Sirois proved to be the difference for Dallas, keeping his side level with a string of crucial saves when it mattered most. A point apiece, then, though Galaxy will feel this was a game they should have won.
The Matchup
LA Galaxy and FC Dallas drew 0-0 at Dignity Health Sports Park, in a game that could easily have finished either way. Neither team could really take control of the ball for long, with LA Galaxy holding 54% possession, close enough to an even split to explain why the game never settled into one side's favour. Both sides had spells on top without ever pulling clear, and the shot count on the day backs up just how tight things were. A draw is rarely the result either team sets out to get, but on this occasion it was a fair reflection of ninety minutes where chances were shared roughly evenly. Below is a closer look at exactly how the numbers from the match broke down.
