The highly anticipated clash between Eastern Conference leaders Philadelphia Union and FC Dallas ended in a 0-0 draw at Toyota Stadium on May 31, 2025, but the scoreline doesn’t tell the full story.
Philadelphia, riding an 11-match unbeaten streak, dominated possession and outshot Dallas 23-7, yet failed to capitalize on a man advantage after Dallas defender Lalas Abubakar was sent off in the 39th minute for a second yellow card Despite relentless pressure, including a flurry of chances early in the second half and a shot off the post by Bruno Damiani, the Union could not break through Dallas goalkeeper Maarten Paes, who recorded his second clean sheet of the season.
For Dallas, the result extends their unbeaten home record against Philadelphia to nine matches (7-0-2) and marks their fifth consecutive home shutout against the Union, who haven’t scored in Frisco since 2014 The draw keeps Philadelphia atop both the Eastern Conference and the Supporters’ Shield standings at the halfway point of the season.
Both teams now head into the international break, with Philadelphia looking to convert dominance into goals and Dallas seeking a spark to climb the Western Conference table.
