Petar Musa and Patrickson Delgado produced goals in the first half while FC Dallas approached a place in the playoffs with a 2-1 victory against the unhappy the Galaxy on Saturday afternoon in a conference match of the end of the western season in Frisco, Texas.
Dallas (10-11-11, 41 points) extended his undefeated sequence to eight games (four victories, four draws) and jumped in eighth place in the West ranking after Colorado and San Jose (who later play Saturday and Sunday, respectively). Los Toros will always have a match in hand against the two competitors of the conference once the game is over this weekend.
Los Angeles (5-18-9, 24 points) has the least points in MLS and has long been eliminated from the playoffs.
The Galaxy amazed the local team when Diego Fagundez torn a right shot just outside the box just four minutes from the match which surprised Dallas Michael Collodi goalkeeper and found the right side of the net.
Fagundez received the ball after a crossed pass from Harbor Miller, stabilized it and got closer to one more step behind the start of his shot. Mauricio Cuevas was also recognized for a decisive pass for the pass that started the score game.
Dallas applied the pressure in abundance in order to respond but did not succeed in a shot until Musa scored in the 35th minute.
Musa left the ground in the mouth of the goal to get his foot on a shot from Bernard Kamungo who was diverted at the front after a stop of the goalkeeper of Los Angeles, JT Marcinkowski. Chris Cappis de Dallas received a decisive pass for the pass in Kamungo who started the Rafale.
Los Toros took the lead in the third minute of the time to stop at first half. When Los Angeles returned the ball near the midfield, Kamungo entered the offensive end before crossing a pass in Delgado, who tore Marcinkowski and in the left side of the goal.
The Galaxy had its best chance of adding to the head when Joseph Paintsil tested Collodi on the right side of the box with a shooting in the 46th minute which brought a 3%hope, but the Dallas goalkeeper was up to it.
Marcinkowski kept the Los Angeles deficit to a goal with a sterling stop on Musa shooting in the 84th minute.
