FC Dallas didn’t have another seven-goal thriller on Saturday night. After three straight wins, the club had to settle for a scoreless draw against Austin FC, doing enough defensively to secure a point and clinch the Copa Tejas crown for the season.
While the defense stepped up and limited Austin on the night, the attack ran dry for the first time in a couple of months.
Let’s dive into the numbers from this one to see how Dallas pulled it off.

Ha. What attacking numbers?
There’s not getting around it: FC Dallas didn’t create much against Austin. On the flipside, Austin also didn’t create much against Dallas.
Dallas finished the game with eight shots on target with two big chances. The two sides split the possession on the night, but neither really managed to do anything dangerous with it outside of two moments where Brad Stuver had to come up big for Austin.
The Burn managed to get inside the penalty box plenty on the night, with 24 touches inside Austin’s box, but that only translated into a few chances. In other words, the Dallas attack wasn’t clinical on the night.
