The report says the opening 33 minutes were goalless before FC Dallas found the breakthrough in the 34th. It describes Joaquin Valiente's corner reaching the right side of the penalty area, where Osaze Urhoghide rose beyond his marker and sent a powerful header into the top-right corner. The report identifies the finish as Urhoghide's second goal of the season and says it forced Los Angeles FC to take greater risks.
Before halftime, the report says Nkosi Tafari headed wide from a long throw, while Eddie Segura's left-footed flick went off target. After the break, Los Angeles FC thought it had levelled in the 73rd minute, but the report says Armindo Sieb's finish was ruled out after contact with Sirois. The decision kept the score at 1-0 and left Dallas protecting its lead.
That protection was tested in stoppage time. The report says Sergi Palencia attempted a bicycle kick three minutes into added time, only for Sirois to hold it. It was the final notable highlight in a match whose key stats were defined by one goal, a clean sheet and the unchanged final score. For FC Dallas, the result completed a narrow MLS win; Los Angeles FC left with the defeat.
