FC Dallas claimed a 4-3 victory over Houston Dynamo in an entertaining MLS encounter, with the home side's attacking intent overwhelming their visitors' defensive structure. Despite Houston generating the higher expected goals (1.76 xG to 1.42), Dallas converted their chances more efficiently, with Logan Farrington netting twice in the three-goal haul. The hosts dominated territorially, registering 16 shots to Houston's 10, though their goalkeeper struggled with shot-stopping, saving just 33.33 per cent of efforts faced and conceding 2.38 post-shot expected goals above their actual tally. Dallas deployed a 3-5-1-1 formation to press Houston's 3-4-3 setup, creating space down the flanks for their attacking players. Farrington's brace proved decisive, though Houston's Lawrence Ennali and Erik Sviatchenko kept the contest competitive until the final whistle. The result extends Dallas's recent form in home fixtures.

Read it this way: PSxG conceded is how dangerous the shots on target were, Goals conceded is how many actually went in, Goals saved is the gap between the two (higher is better, a minus means he should have saved more), and Save % is the share of on-target shots kept out.
