A pitcher's duel is a dominating performance by 1 man. He goes out there with the ball in his hand and strikes out 12 and doesn't let anyone sniff a base.

In a 1-0 soccer game the game was not dominated by a great goaltender (usually) he will have what 6 or 7 saves in a 1-0 win?

A 1-0 game is usually controled in the midfield with constant changes of posession and nobody able to advance the ball far enough to score. Sure this is probably dominance in it's own right, but it is nothing you can compare to 1 pitcher going out and just dominating a team by himself.
