FRISCO, Texas — Bill Hamid finished with three saves to help D.C. United to a scoreless draw against FC Dallas on Saturday night.

Dallas’ Jackson Goncalves nearly scored in the 87th minute with a sliding shot from the top of the goalie’s box, but his shot bounced off the crossbar.

In the 67th minute, FC Dallas had a chance to score on a Marvin Chavez breakaway but Chavez pulled his shot left of the post from 8 yards away.

FC Dallas also had scoring opportunities in the first half, including a 20-foot shot from Brek Shea in the 20th minute which forced a two-handed save by Hamid.

Dallas had 14 shots to 4 for United, a season low for D.C.

United’s best scoring chance came in the 18th minute after Andy Najar fired a shot from 12 yards away that forced a diving save by goalkeeper Kevin Hartman.
