FC Dallas Notes:
Key player for FC Dallas: Jesus Ferreira - He’s been killer at home this season, and if FC Dallas is going to pick up points in this one, they need another big outing from their star.
Fortress Frisco: FC Dallas has lost only one of its last 15 home matches (W9 D5, incl. playoffs), including winning four of the last six at Toyota Stadium (D2). Dallas has held opponents to fewer than two goals in a club-record 17 straight home matches, including allowing exactly one in each of its last 11 at home.
Ferreira chasing history: Jesús Ferreira scored his ninth goal of the season in FC Dallas' defeat to Sporting Kansas City on Wednesday. After scoring 18 times last year, Ferreira is one goal away from becoming the first player to record consecutive 10-goal seasons for FC Dallas since Blas Pérez in 2014-15.
When Jesus scores: Dallas has a 15-2-2 record in the 18 matches in which
Ferreira has scored since the start of last season.
Don’t just find one, get two: Since 2018, FC Dallas is 55-5-14 when scoring at least two goals.
Homegrown clock: In 2023, FC Dallas Homegrowns have played a total of 3,082 minutes and made 42 appearances.
