  "textContent": "FC Dallas may have not dominated every statistical category on the night, but the clinical finishing from the penalty spot and resilient defending when the game got chaotic late was what matted in the end. Dallas took advantage of their limited chances, leaned heavily on Jonathan Sirois and a defensive structure to help survive a late push.\n\nThe Rapids finished with plenty of possession and pressure, but Dallas stayed organized enough to truly limit chances in and around the penalty box from being too dangerous. In a lot of ways, this match was the perfect example of how road games in MLS often work: you capitalize on mistakes, survive a little bit of suffering, and get the hell out of town with three points before the game fully consumes you.\n\nLet’s dive into the numbers from this one.\n\n* * *\n\n## xG Battle/Attacking numbers\n\nDon’t let that xG number for Dallas fool you. Take out the two penalty kicks and we’re talking about a 0.18 xG. Still, the attacking numbers from this match are honestly hilarious in the most “MLS road win“ kind of way possible. FC Dallas scored twice on just five shots and only managed three touches in the Colorado penalty area. Yeah, THREE touches.\n\nMeanwhile, the Rapids piled up 17 shots, 28 touches in the Dallas box and controlled around 66% of the possession. And yet? Dallas walked away with the win.\n\nSoccer is a ridiculous sport sometimes.\n\nWant to dive deeper into the numbers from this match?
