Assist on winner
Valiente assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus Los Angeles Football Club.
Analysis: Valiente delivered the assist on Osaze Urhoghide's 34th minute header, swinging a precise corner into the LAFC box that the Dallas center-back converted, and also registered one shot without troubling Hugo Lloris and one accurate cross from two attempts across 81 minutes before being replaced. His set-piece delivery was the decisive attacking contribution of the match for Dallas, coming from their only scoring opportunity of the first half. Valiente now has nine MLS assists this season and sits in the top 10 in the league, only two units away from Lionel Messi.
