Guzan gets his 12th shutout in Chivas’ 0-0 tie with Dallas

FRISCO, Texas -- Brad Guzan made five saves for his MLS-leading 12th shutout of the season to help Chivas USA tie FC Dallas, 0-0, on Thursday night.

Chivas (15-6-7) extended its unbeaten streak to 11 games (7-0-4) and moved four points ahead of Houston for the Western Conference lead with two games left for each club. Guzan has the second-highest shutout total in MLS history, trailing Tony Meola’s league-record 16 with Kansas City in 2000.

Dallas is now locked into the West’s third seeding, unable to catch Houston for second and comfortably ahead of Colorado in fourth. Backup goalkeeper Ray Burse, a 23-year-old rookie, earned his second career shutout in his fifth MLS start by turning aside one shot.

Dallas’ Arturo Alvarez had perhaps the best scoring chance in the first minute of injury time, drilling a shot from the corner of the penalty box past Guzan and off the near-side post.

Chivas forward Ante Razov, the team’s second-leading scorer, suffered a possible left-knee sprain in the 70th minute. He will undergo an MRI exam today.
