Timo Baumgartl scores in 61st minute as St. Louis City tie FC Dallas

Timo Baumgartl's 61st-minute goal negated Louicius Deedson's opener as visiting St. Louis City SC earned a 1-1 draw against FC Dallas.

The equalizer was the first goal in four matches at Toyota Stadium for St. Louis (1-3-3, 6 points), which has gone 1-0-2 in its last three matches after getting shut out in three straight.

Dallas (3-1-3, 12 points) is now unbeaten (2-0-2) in its last four matches and has outscored St. Louis, 8-1, in those four home matches.

The teams played to a scoreless draw in the opening 45 minutes, despite chances from both sides. St. Louis' Marcel Hartel had two chances himself early on.

He took the ball down to the end line in the third minute and sent it across the goal mouth, but there was nobody home to tap it in. Then, in the 21st minute, Hartel took the ball down the left side into the box and tried to beat Michael Collodi to the near post, but Dallas' goalkeeper turned it aside.

In the 30th minute, Conrad Wallem just missed connecting with Sergio Cordova, which would have left the St. Louis attacker alone in the middle.

Dallas' Kaick, who came on for his injured Brazilian countryman Ramiro in the 36th minute, was high on a header three minutes later off a cross into the box from Deedson.

Petar Musa, who came into the match tied for the MLS lead with seven goals, was quiet for most of the first half, but he came alive late.

He was called offside on an attempt that hit the post in the third minute of extra time, and then, one minute later, he took a pass from Logan Farrington into the box and forced a save from St. Louis goalkeeper Roman Burki, who had two saves.

Musa played a role in Dallas' goal three minutes into the second half. He intercepted a St. Louis pass and freed up Deedson on the left side, and the Haitian International finished for his first goal of the season.

The assist was Musa's first of the season, and the goal stood up for 20 minutes. St. Louis' Daniel Edelman sent a ball to the far post, where two teammates ran onto it. Baumgartl got in first and finished Edelman's cross with a right-footed shot from close range.

Burki and Collodi, who had four saves, denied late winners off attempts from both attacking sides to preserve the draw.
