FC Dallas have held Chivas USA to a goalless draw in their MLS Western Conference encounter in Texas.

The result means that the visitors have missed the chance to go level on points with second-placed Los Angeles Galaxy before they entertain Columbus Crew.

Both sides created viable scoring opportunities throughout the game, but Raul Fernandez was by far the busier between the Dallas sticks during the 90 minutes.

The 27-year-old Peruvian kept out efforts from Eric Avila, Jorge Villafana and Jose Correa Villero to help keep his sheet clean.

A point sees Schellas Hyndman's men edge further clear of rock-bottom San Jose Earthquakes.
