The final phases of the 2025 Copa Tejas are upon us, as FC Dallas travels south to take on Austin FC.

Let’s dive into some notes, predictions and more. 

## **FC Dallas Notes:**

**Key player for FC Dallas: Petar Musa -** The Croatian striker has been red-hot in recent weeks, scoring in at least one goal in seven out of the last nine league matches. 

**All-time vs Austin**: FC Dallas has a 2-2-1 regular season record at Q2 Stadium, with 7-3-2 all-time record in league matches.

**Copa Tejas talk**: The two games with Austin will determine who wins the Copa Tejas crown in 2025\. Houston currently leads the Copa Tejas standings with seven points after four matches. FC Dallas can still win Copa Tejas with a pair of wins over Austin, but anything less will likely see the Dynamo pick up their first Copa Tejas trophy (there are scenarios where FCD and Houston tie on points with seven, but the Dynamo will likely end up on top due to tiebreakers).

**Homegrown clock**: The Homegrown minutes are starting to tick up again. Paxton Pomykal, Tarik Scott, Anthony Ramirez, Michael Collodi, Nolan Norris and Josh Torquato have played a combined 1161 minutes. 

### **Notable season stats**:

- Petar Musa and Bernard Kamungo have the fastest speed recorded  
for FC Dallas this season at 34.38 KPH/21.36 MPH ranking No. 112 in  
MLS.
- Sebastien Ibeagha is seventh in MLS in aerial challenges won with  
68.
- Shaq Moore ranks No. 53 across MLS in total distance covered with  
237.06 km (147.3 miles).
- Anderson Julio is tied in second in MLS in goals on counterattack  
with three.
- Petar Musa has scored 10 goals with his right foot. He is sixth in MLS  
for most goals scored with his right foot.
- Musa ranks 8th in clear-cut chances in MLS with 11\. He has  
converted eight clear-cut chances which is tied for fourth best in  
MLS.
- FC Dallas has earned 17 points from losing positions in MLS.
- Dallas ranks 20th in xG across MLS with 38.7 xG.
- Dallas is fifth in MLS in goals after situations from the half-right with  
17.
- FCD is first in MLS in clearances with 232.
- Dallas is fifth in aerial challenges won with 364.
