Late goals by Ferreira top LAFC

FRISCO, Texas — Jesus Ferreira scored twice in a three-minute span late in the second half as FC Dallas roared back to beat shorthanded LAFC 2-1 on Saturday.

Dallas (13-8-10) moved closer to second place in the West standings, ending the weekend just two points behind Austin FC with three matches to play

Dallas got an early break when LAFC defender Ryan Hollingshead was shown the red card after a dangerous play and a foul in the open field on Paul Arriola. The infraction was initially booked as a yellow card but upgraded to red after VAR decision, forcing the visitors to play the final 77 minutes and six minutes of extra time a man down.

LAFC (19-8-3) scored four minutes into first-half injury time when Cristian Arango ran under a high, breakaway pass and lobbed a shot over onrushing Dallas keeper Maarten Paes.
