Maurer helps FC Dallas to 0-0 tie against Colorado

<p>FRISCO, Texas &mdash; Jimmy Maurer made six saves to help FC Dallas secure a point in a 0-0 tie with the Colorado Rapids in the season opener for both teams Saturday night.</p>
<p>It’s the 12th consecutive year Dallas has earned at least a point in its season-opening contest — with seven wins and five draws. Dallas hasn’t lost an opener since 2009, when the Chicago Fire won 3-1.</p>
<p>Maurer’s last big save of the night came late in the game when he denied former teammate Michael Barrios, who took a pass running down the right. Maurer closed on the rushing Barrios and got wide to deflect the ball out of play.</p>
<p>Maurer led all MLS goalkeepers last year with the lowest goals against average and posted seven shutouts.</p>
<p>William Yarbrough made four saves for the Rapids.</p>
