### FC Dallas Notes:

**Key player for FC Dallas: Petar Musa -** The second half of the match in Cincinnati felt like he was more of himself again. Against a stout defense like the Union, FC Dallas will need him to be 100%. 

**All-time vs Philadelphia**: FC Dallas has a 8-2-5 record in all-time meetings with the Union, including an unbeaten 7-0-1 record at Toyota Stadium.

**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.
