After 45 minutes there is nothing to show for between FC Dallas and Chivas USA. Both teams traded blows but neither found the back of the net.

Dallas had a couple good opportunities on their counter attack. Chivas gave up a ton of ground in the midfield as Robin Fraser is using three midfielders in his defense tonight.

Jackson Goncalves has been a big player for Dallas so far tonight as he's created a couple of Dallas' best chances in the first half. David Ferreira also had a couple chances early on but none have been on target.

Chivas ended the first half strong however as they found a way to get get wide on left sideline of Dallas. Fraser got his squad to attack Carlos Rodriguez's sideline and from there they began spraying balls into the penalty box.

Had Juan Agudelo not completely whiffed on a ball in the 44th minute this game could be a different scoreline.
