Drew Moor’s goal in the 31st minute helped short-handed FC Dallas tie the Galaxy, 1-1, on Saturday night.

The Galaxy (1-1-8) tied its fourth consecutive game. Los Angeles had eight shots on goal to only three for Dallas.

Moor angled a header into the left corner of the net from eight yards away. Dave van den Bergh set up the goal with a free kick from the right corner.

Landon Donovan gave the Galaxy a 1-0 lead in the third minute from inside the goalie’s box. Eddie Lewis set it up with a left-footed cross to Donovan from inside the left corner of the penalty box. Donovan, who was tangled up with Dallas defender Daniel Torres, deflected the shot into the net with his left foot.

It was Donovan’s 16th career MLS goal against FC Dallas, the most any player has scored against the club.

Dallas (1-6-3) had to play most of the game one man down after midfielder Marcelo Saragosa was given a red card for shoving Lewis in the back of the head in the 25th minute. In addition to Saragosa’s red card, the two teams combined for six yellow cards.

Lewis missed a chance to give the Galaxy an early two-goal lead on a breakaway when he pulled a shot wide left of an empty Dallas net in the 24th minute.
