Petar Musa's third goal pulls Dallas into a tie with San Diego
Mar 14, 2026; Frisco, Texas, USA; San Diego FC midfielder Alex Mighten (77) kicks the ball as FC Dallas defender Shaq Moore (18) defends during the first half at Toyota Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Kevin Jairaj-Imagn Images Petar Musa scored his third goal of the match five minutes into second-half stoppage time to give FC Dallas a dramatic 3-3 draw with visiting San Diego FC on Saturday.
Bernard Kamungo earned the assist on Musa’s goal after making a great run into the box. Kamungo carried the ball past three San Diego defenders, and Musa had the final touch for the equalizer and the hat trick.
Musa has five goals in four matches for FC Dallas, who are 1-1-2 this season.
San Diego FC remains undefeated (3-0-1), though the club will likely view Saturday’s match as a missed opportunity given how San Diego twice led by two goals.
Onni Valakari and Marcus Ingvartsen each scored on first-half penalty kicks, and Valakari added his second goal off a deflection in the 51st minute. Both Valakari and Ingvartsen have scored three goals this season.
In the 17th minute, a video review was required to see if Dallas defender Shaq Moore committed a handball foul in the box. The foul was confirmed, and Valakari buried the penalty kick in the 21st minute.
Ten minutes later, Ingvartsen converted San Diego’s next penalty kick. Dallas defender Herman Johansson ran over David Vazquez during a race for the ball in the box, resulting in a costly yellow card.
FC Dallas responded in the 41st minute, as pressure from Musa and Joaquin Valiente forced goalkeeper Pablo Sisniega into an ill-advised clearance attempt. The result was a turnover deep in San Diego’s end, and Musa’s first shot was blocked before the striker deposited his own rebound.
The two clubs exchanged goals early in the second half. In the 51st minute, Alex Mighten sent a nice cross to Valakari in front, and Valakari was awarded the goal after his shot banked off defender Nolan Norris and into the net.
Valakari’s brace was followed by Musa’s second goal three minutes later, this time on a Dallas penalty kick. Sisniega earned the foul when the goalkeeper came way out of his net and ran into Kamungo as the Toros defender was chasing the ball into the box.

F1 officially cancels Bahrain, Saudi Arabia GPs due to Iran war
May 1, 2025; Miami Gardens, FL, USA; Fans pose for a picture in front of the F1 logo in the team village ahead of the F1 Miami Grand Prix at Miami International Autodrome. Mandatory Credit: Peter Casey-Imagn Images Formula 1 officially canceled races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia scheduled for April because of safety concerns from the ongoing war in the Middle East.
The Bahrain Grand Prix was scheduled for April 12, while the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix was set for April 19.
“While several alternatives were considered, it was ultimately decided that no substitutions will be made in April,” F1 said in a statement released Saturday.
Iran is accused of launching drone and missile attacks on both Bahrain and Saudi Arabia in response to the Israel- and U.S.-led war on Iran.
Just a month ago, teams were conducting testing at the Bahrain International Circuit.
The races are not likely to be rescheduled at a later date, given the full F1 calendar, ESPN reported.
The decision to cancel the two races leaves F1 with a 22-race schedule and a five-week gap between the Japanese Grand Prix on March 29 and the Miami Grand Prix on May 3.
The Chinese Grand Prix is scheduled for Sunday.

Mar 14, 2026; Boston, Massachusetts, USA; Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (7) controls the ball against Washington Wizards guard Bilal Coulibaly (0) during the first half at the TD Garden. Mandatory Credit: Brian Fluharty-Imagn Images Neemias Queta scored a game-high 24 points and had 10 rebounds to help the Boston Celtics end a two-game losing streak by beating the visiting Washington Wizards 111-100 on Saturday night.
Boston received 20 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists from Jayson Tatum, and a 16-point performance from Jaylen Brown. Derrick White scored 15 and Luka Garza added 15 off the bench.

The loss stretched Washington’s losing streak to 11. The Wizards have lost nine in a row on the road.
Tristan Vukcevic made 6 of 7 3-point attempts and led the Wizards with 22 points. Fellow reserve Jamir Watkins added 15 points and six rebounds and Bilal Coulibaly finished with 12 points. Trae Young scored 11 and had six assists.
Alex Sarr was 1 of 9 from the field and was held to four points.
Boston led by nine in the opening quarter, but Washington went in front 27-26 on a Watkins 3-pointer with 1:05 left. Boston led 29-27 after 12 minutes. Queta scored 13 points in the quarter.
The Celtics scored 19 of the first 21 points in the second quarter and had a 48-29 advantage with 4:58 remaining in the first half. Boston outscored Washington 35-14 in the second and led 64-41 at halftime.

Nashville blanks Columbus, sits lone atop Eastern table
Mar 14, 2026; Columbus, Ohio, USA; Nashville SC forward Woobens Pacius (17) kicks the ball as Columbus Crew midfielder Malte Andre Gomes (20) defends during the first half at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field. Mandatory Credit: Joseph Maiorana-Imagn Images Hany Mukhtar scored in the fourth minute of second-half stoppage time Saturday night and visiting Nashville SC stayed unbeaten with a 1-0 win over the Columbus Crew.
The match appeared destined for a scoreless draw without much in the way of true high-danger chances until Mukhtar received expert service from Cristian Espinosa. After taking a pass in the box from Andy Najar, Espinosa spun defender Rudy Camacho around twice and then fed Mukhtar near the goal mouth, where he poked the ball past Patrick Schulte.
The goal enabled Nashville (3-0-1, 10 points) to claim the top spot in the Eastern table despite Columbus (0-2-2, 2 points) controlling the ball most of the night. The Crew possessed the ball for 55.3% of the fixture and made 171 more passes than their visitors.
But they couldn’t convert that into goals and remained winless through four matches under first-year coach Henrik Rydstrom. Meanwhile, Nashville goalie Brian Schwake (two saves) recorded his second clean sheet — both on the road.
Prior to Mukhtar’s marker, neither team generated a scoring opportunity of better than 9%. Each finished the match with eight shots, while Nashville had a 4-2 advantage in shots on frame.
Nashville came into the match boasting a top 10 offense and defense, scoring seven times in its first three fixtures while conceding just twice. Meanwhile, Columbus found its defensive shape last week but couldn’t find the back of the net in a scoreless draw with Chicago.
This one trended more toward that match and less towards the wide-open affairs the Crew played in the first two matches. Neither team generated a chance with a goal expectancy of even 10% in a scoreless first 45 minutes.
Columbus came the closest to scoring in the third minute of stoppage time but Max Arfsten’s long-range try from outside the box struck the crossbar and bounced away.
Jack Maher logged Nashville’s only first-half shot on net in the 39th minute on a header but Schulte (three saves) was able to parry it away.
