Los Angeles FC extended its perfect start to the MLS season with a 1-0 victory over FC Dallas, thanks to David Martínez's second-half goal and Hugo Lloris's fourth consecutive clean sheet. The win marked LAFC's third straight league victory to begin the year, with Lloris making five saves to preserve the shutout.

Martínez broke through in the 55th minute with assists from Stephen Eustáquio and Sergi Palencia, marking his first goal of the season in just his 20th career start. Eustáquio has been impressive in his early MLS career with a goal and two assists in three matches, while Palencia earned his first assist of the year. LAFC has now outscored opponents 6-0 through three matches.

The victory continues LAFC's dominant run across all competitions, with five straight wins to start the season. The club has also advanced in the CONCACAF Champions Cup and opened with a 3-0 win over defending champion Inter Miami. Dallas, coming off a 3-2 home win over Toronto, couldn't find the breakthrough against LAFC's stingy defense.
