Ferreira's 12th goal leads Dallas to 1-0 win over Salt Lake
SANDY, Utah (AP) - Jesús Ferreira scored his team-high 12th goal of the season in the 14th minute, leading Dallas to a 1-0 victory on Saturday night that ended Real Salt Lake's 10-match home unbeaten streak.
Ferreira connected with a left-footed shot from 8 yards off a pass from Paxton Pomykal after Paul Arriola intercepted a throw-in.
Ferreira is second in Major League Soccer in scoring behind New York City's Valentín Castellanos. The 21-year-old Ferreira became the second MLS player with 30 career goals and 20 assists at 21 or younger, according to Opta, behind New England's Diego Fagúndez.
