Game Notes:
Get the early lead. According to the club’s game notes, in the past two seasons, FCD has compiled a regular season record of 30‐5‐10 if leading or tied at halftime. FC Dallas has scored an MLS‐leading 13 goals in the first 30 minutes of matches this season.
Solid in goal. Chris Seitz ranks first in MLS with seven shutouts (tied with Robles and Saunders) this season, 10 wins (one off the pace of Josh Saunders) and a goals‐against average of 1.15. All three are career bests for Seitz. Combined with Jesse Gonzalez’s early‐season shutouts against Philadelphia and Montreal, FC Dallas leads MLS with nine clean sheets.
