Musa Ignites Late Surge

Petar Musa emerged as the decisive factor in FC Dallas’s 3-0 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes at Toyota Stadium. The forward, who recorded three total shots on target, struck twice in the closing minutes to break the deadlock and extend the lead. His first goal arrived in the 82nd minute, followed swiftly by a second in the 88th minute.

These late strikes shifted the momentum entirely in favor of the home side, neutralizing any remaining threat from the visitors. The performance capped a strong individual display, with Musa accounting for two of the three goals in the match.

Moreno Seals the Result

Santiago Moreno provided the final touch in the 94th minute, scoring in the fourth minute of stoppage time to make it 3-0. This goal effectively ended any debate about the outcome and secured all three points for FC Dallas.

The late surge from the hosts demonstrated a clear advantage in the final stretches of the contest, ensuring a comfortable margin of victory.
