### FC Dallas Notes:

**Key player for FC Dallas: Lucho Acosta -** Seeing Acosta go up against his old club is easily a big storyline for this match. This needs to be the game that be finally breaks out of his funk in a Dallas uniform. 

**All-time vs Cincinnati**: The two clubs have only met twice since they joined MLS, with both meetings coming in Frisco. Last year, Cincinnati came away with a 1-0 victory. 

**Homegrown clock**: The Homegrown minutes are starting to tick up again as Paxton Pomykal returned to action and Tarik Scott picking up some late game experience lately. Along with what Michael Collodi and Nolan Norris have earned, the season total is up to 769 minutes. 

**Notable season stats**:

- Osaze Urhoghide is fourth in MLS in aerial challenges won with 39.
- Urhoghide is tied for first across MLS in aerial challenges won  
without ball control with 33.
- Urhoghide is tied second in goals scored from freekicks with one.
- Anderson Julio leads MLS alongside Tani Oluwaseyi, Anders Dreyer  
and Martin Ojeda in goals scored on counterattack with two.
- Léo Chú has the fastest speed recorded for FC Dallas this season at  
35.3 KPH/21.9 MPH ranking No. 11 in MLS.
- Shaq Moore is tied for 18th in MLS in clearances with 21.
