Plays full game
Moore registered one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (one accurate) in Wednesday's 1-0 victory over Seattle Sounders FC.
Analysis: Moore recorded 36 passes and accumulated seven clearances, two tackles and a block. He has now accumulated 12 clearances, six tackles and an interception in the last four appearances.
Sets up opener in solid outing
Moore assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Portland Timbers.
Analysis: Moore was involved in the goal and solid in the defensive third as Dallas got the job done against Portland. His delivery over the top released Logan Farrington for the opener, and he added two blocks, five clearances and two tackles won across the evening. Moore has been a fixture in the Dallas back line with 23 starts to his name and only two rests, both of which came during congested weeks in the schedule, and his last six games have brought 13 tackles, 11 interceptions, 20 clearances and seven blocks with at least one tackle in every one of them.
Scores in draw
Moore scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 3-3 draw versus St. Louis City.
Analysis: Moore leveled the scoring through a fine right-footed attempt after battling for the ball in the opposing box during the 18th minute against St. Louis. The goal was his first of the season and came on a rare chance to move forward from his defensive role. He does provide some versatility, which has allowed him to play on either flank when Bernard Kamungo or Herman Johansson are unavailable, a scenario that could arise in the short term given that the latter left Sunday's match with a muscle issue.
Signs new contract
Moore signed a new contract with FC Dallas until the end of the 2027/28 MLS season Friday. The deal also includes an option for the 2028/29 campaign.
Analysis: Moore has been a steady presence on the right side of the defensive line for Dallas and should continue to do so as long as he stays healthy. The right-back has started in all but one of his 18 league outings in 2026, recording one assist and averaging 1.3 crosses and 3.6 clearances per contest.
Makes three tackles
Moore took two shots (one on goal), crossed four times inaccurately and made three tackles (winning all three) during Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Minnesota.
Analysis: Moore finished with the second most shots, crosses and tackles on the team while being part of the Dallas back line that allowed just one goal in the defeat. The defender has combined for three shots, two chances created and eight crosses over his last three appearances.
