Houston Dynamo drew 0-0 with San Jose Earthquakes in MLS, with San Jose’s territorial control meeting a disciplined Houston defensive performance. The Earthquakes used their 3-4-2-1 shape to hold 58.0% possession and produced 1.20 xG from 11 shots, four of which tested the Houston goalkeeper. Houston’s 4-2-3-1 offered less of the ball, at 42.0%, and generated 0.72 xG from 11 attempts, but none were on target. The decisive statistical contrast came in the penalty areas: Houston’s goalkeeper faced four shots on target, recorded a 100.0% save percentage and posted 1.61 goals saved above expected, preserving the clean sheet despite San Jose’s superior chance quality. San Jose had the more sustained attacking platform, while Houston’s compact structure limited the match to a scoreless outcome. Both sides take another MLS draw.
