Defensive-minded teams meet as FC Dallas oppose Galaxy

The third- and fourth-place teams in Major League Soccer's Western Conference go head-to-head Saturday night in Carson, Calif., when the third-place Los Angeles Galaxy face FC Dallas.

The Galaxy (6-3-1, 19 points) have scored just 11 goals in 10 matches this season but have allowed only seven -- tied with Dallas for the fewest in MLS. Los Angeles goalkeeper Jonathan Bond is tied for the league lead with five shutouts.
