The two sides met earlier this season in South Florida, with FC Dallas picking up a win over the Messi-less Herons. The winner of this match will advance to the quarterfinals, likely to take place on Friday, August 11, against the winner of the Charlotte FC-Houston Dynamo game on Monday night. ### FC Dallas Notes: **Key player for FC Dallas**: Alan Velasco - He’s going up against a hero of his tonight and will want to leave an impact on this game. He’s been stellar in this new centralized role in the Dallas attack, so this would be the right game for him to continue finding goals and assists. **How we got here**: FC Dallas advanced out of their group stage with a draw against Charlotte FC (followed by a penalty kick loss) and then a win over Liga MX side Club Necaxa. In the first knockout round game last Wednesday, they downed their second Mexican side by defeating Mazatlan. --- ### [How FC Dallas expects to defend Lionel Messi](https://www.bigdsoccer.com/p/fc-dallas-defend-lionel-messi-inter-miami) Drew Epperley • Aug 5, 2023 [![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/9b/a4/9ba413bd-9ade-4977-b9cf-1a1e2ef6de5c/content/images/2024/10/https-3a-2f-2fsubstack-post-media-s3-amazonaws-com-2fpublic-2fimages-2f62b9d746-65fa-4132-ad41-a975e9d138c5_4096x2731-jpeg-1.jpg)](https://www.bigdsoccer.com/p/fc-dallas-defend-lionel-messi-inter-miami) When you hear FC Dallas head coach Nico Estevez discuss any key player in Major League Soccer, he will tell you immediately that they are only one player and still have ten other players to contend with.
