Game Notes:
Looking for more on the road. FC Dallas has accumulated 17 points on the road this season, just two less than it had all of last season (19). The team also scored wins in Houston and LA in the US Open Cup.
Best year in goal. According to the club’s game notes, Chris Seitz ranks second in MLS with seven shutouts (two behind Luis Robles), 12 wins (tied with Robles for the lead) and a goals‐against average of 1.13. All three are career bests for Seitz.
Better with Hedges. FC Dallas’ record when defender Matt Hedges starts is 11‐4‐6 this season.
