FC Dallas netminder Daniel has been nominated for the 2026 MLS Save of the Year… for a save he made while a member of the San Jose Earthquakes. Still, quite a cool honor for him to be nominated.
FC Dallas acquired Daniel from San Jose back in July and announced the signing of the Brazilian keeper to a new two-year contract in September.
I wouldn’t even call that a save per se. The ball was hit directly at him and hit his face. Terrible decision to name this a save of the year.
