FC Dallas and LAFC played to a 1-1 draw on August 23, 2025, at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas[1][2][3][4]. The match featured new LAFC signing Son Heung-Min, who scored his first MLS goal in the 6th minute with a curling free kick into the upper left corner, following a foul on Denis Bouanga just outside the Dallas penalty box[2][4][6][7]. FC Dallas responded quickly: Logan Farrington netted the equalizer in the 13th minute, pouncing on a pass from Patrickson Delgado (his third assist of the season) after LAFC failed to clear their lines[1][3][4].

LAFC head coach Steve Cherundolo was forced into an early substitution in the 25th minute due to an injury to Igor Jesus, replaced by Mathieu Choinière[2]. Later, debutant Ryan Porteous came on as a second-half substitute for LAFC[2]. Despite several chances for both teams, including a late offside goal by Ryan Hollingshead and a sequence of chances for LAFC in the 88th minute, the score remained tied at the final whistle[2][3].

Dallas goalkeeper Michael Collodi, making his fifth career MLS start, recorded four saves and extended his personal unbeaten run to five games[1][3][4]. LAFC’s Hugo Lloris made one save, and the visitors continued their strong form with just two losses in their last 18 matches[4].

With this result, FC Dallas reached 30 points on the season with a 7-11-9 record, remaining four points outside the Eastern Conference playoff position, while LAFC moved to 41 points (11-6-8, third in Western Conference). FC Dallas now holds a 4-1-2 record at home against LAFC and has recovered 18 points from losing positions this season—an MLS high[1]. The match also extended FC Dallas’ home sellout streak to 30 matches[1].

FC Dallas will next face St. Louis CITY SC on September 6, while LAFC returns home to host San Diego FC on August 31[1][2][4].
