Reto Ziegler scored from the penalty spot and Bryan Acosta opened his MLS account with a golazo to help lift FC Dallas to a 2-0 win over the LA Galaxy at Toyota Stadium Saturday afternoon.
Ziegler broke the scoreless tie in the 53rd minute, converting a penalty kick earned when LA Galaxy defender Diego Polenta connected with Matt Hedges on a high kick in the box.
Acosta doubled FC Dallas’ lead in the 61st minute, latching onto a ball cut back to just outside the 18-yard box by Paxton Pomykal and hammering a first-time shot past David Bingham.
