FRISCO, Texas (AP) — David Accam scored in the 86th minute and Nashville SC downed Dallas FC 1-0 in the first match for both teams since Major League Soccer shut down the regular season in March because of the coronavirus.

Nashville and Dallas were forced to withdraw from the MLS is Back tournament this past month in Florida because of positive COVID-19 tests.

The game between the teams was the first of the league’s restart of the season. Fans were allowed in the stands at Toyota Stadium, but at a reduced capacity because of local regulations.
