KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Petar Musa had made all five of his penalty attempts this season before Saturday. His sixth, in second-half stoppage time at Sporting Park, was saved by Stefan Cleveland, and FC Dallas settled for a 1-1 draw with Sporting Kansas City that ended its chance of finishing first in the Western Conference.
Cleveland dove to his right and got his left hand to the kick, the Associated Press reported. Vancouver Whitecaps FC clinched the West’s top seed with the result. Dallas, which came in four points behind Vancouver with two matches to play, moved to 15-8-10 with 55 points. Kansas City moved to 6-22-5 and has gone seven matches without a win.
How The Goals Came At Sporting Park
Herman Johansson gave Dallas the lead in the 19th minute, finishing a Ran Binyamin pass first time for his first MLS goal. The club credited Binyamin and Santiago Moreno with assists, the third of the season for Binyamin and the fourth for Moreno. Johansson, a wingback from Örnsköldsvik, Sweden, was on Sweden’s 2026 World Cup roster.
Kansas City tied it in first-half stoppage time when Jansen Miller headed in an Owen Wolff free kick. Nobody scored after halftime, and the game was still level when Dallas was awarded the penalty late in stoppage time.
Lineup Changes And A Record Road Season
Jonathan Sirois was back in goal for his 11th start of the season and made three saves, according to Field Level Media. Lalas Abubakar, Binyamin, and Daniel Job also returned to the starting lineup.
That was Dallas’ last road game of the regular season. It finished 7-5-5 away from home, the best road record in the club’s post-shootout era. The seven road wins, 26 road points, and 30 road goals are all club records. Dallas went 2-2-2 in October.
