The MLS match between FC Dallas and San Jose Earthquakes that took place on the 25th of February 2024, ended with a victory for the home team, FC Dallas, with a 2-1 score.

The away team, San Jose Earthquakes, was the first to strike a goal at 5 minutes and 49 seconds into the first half. However, their advantage was short-lived, as FC Dallas equaled the score 20 minutes later, at the 25th minute, resulting in a 1-1 tie at the end of the first half. That goal seemed to fuel Dallas's determination as they netted another goal at the 93rd minute into the second half, securing their victory with a 2-1 score.

Despite having fewer goals, San Jose Earthquakes certainly were the more aggressive party. This was reflected not only in their two yellow cards received at the 20th and 44th minute into the first half but also they were on par with Dallas on the offside count, each team recording an offside once. Meanwhile, FC Dallas maintained a disciplined record, with no yellow or red cards throughout the match.

However, what seemed to have made the most significant impact on the match outcome was not just the goals themselves, but the amount of pressure applied by FC Dallas in terms of attempts on goals. Dallas had a total of 10 corner kicks, indicating an intense attacking position. This vastly outnumbered San Jose's sole corner kick, and likely put a lot of strain on San Jose's defense, eventually wearing them down and leading to the decisive goal in the second half.

The discrepancy in the corner kick count fully supports the dominance of the home team in this match, which was key to their victory. While San Jose Earthquakes put up a fight, they were not able to maintain possession or create as many scoring opportunities, evidenced by their limited number of corner kicks.

Summarily, FC Dallas's win could be attributed to their aggressive offensive approach, discipline, and ability to maintain an attacking position for most of the match, despite San Jose's early lead. As for San Jose, their aggressive play resulted in more fouls than opportunities, suggesting that perhaps a strategy shift would be beneficial for their future matches.
