Before the recent match against FC Dallas, expectations for Los Angeles FC (LAFC) were high as they aimed to build on their previous successes. The club had a solid foundation, but the prospect of starting the MLS season with three consecutive victories was unprecedented in their history.

On March 7, 2026, LAFC faced FC Dallas at BMO Stadium, where they secured a 1-0 victory. The decisive moment came in the 56th minute when David Martínez scored the only goal of the match, firing a left-footed shot just inside the post from 25 yards out. This goal not only clinched the win but also marked a significant milestone for the club.

With this victory, LAFC improved their record to 3-0-0 in the 2026 MLS season, earning a total of nine points. Remarkably, they have not conceded a goal in their first three matches, showcasing a strong defensive performance led by goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, who made five crucial saves during the match.

The match statistics revealed that FC Dallas outshot LAFC 14-10, indicating a competitive game. However, LAFC’s ability to capitalize on their chances proved decisive. This victory also extended LAFC’s all-time record against FC Dallas to 8-4-3 across all competitions.

Experts have noted that this is the first time in LAFC’s history that the club has opened the MLS season with three consecutive victories and five wins across all competitions, including the Concacaf Champions Cup. This strong start places LAFC among four MLS clubs to begin the season with nine points from three games.

Looking ahead, LAFC will host Alajuelense in the Concacaf Champions Cup on March 10, 2026, followed by a return to MLS play against St. Louis CITY on March 14, 2026. The club’s momentum will be crucial as they aim to maintain their unbeaten streak.

In summary, LAFC’s historic start to the season reflects their growth and determination, setting a promising tone for the remainder of the 2026 campaign.
