FC Dallas didn’t just pass the eye test in D.C., they had the numbers to back it up, too.
From controlling chances to limited the Black-and-Red’s opportunities, this was a performance that showed up across the board. After recent defensive lapses, the clean sheet along tells part of the story, but the numbers highlight how dominant this one really was for Eric Quill’s squad.
Let’s dig into the stats behind the 4-0 win.
xG Battle/Attacking numbers
When you have a player like Logan Farrington starting off games with a stellar touch on a ball to open up space for himself in the penalty area, good things tend to follow.
Dallas didn’t win the possession battle on the night (lost 51-49), but managed to do the important things in the attack very well. The xG numbers continues to improve with each game this season. Saturday against D.C. United was no different.
Having a majority of their shots be on target is excellent, too. And scoring half of those chances…well, you can’t beat that kind of production.
