### FC Dallas Notes:

**Key player for FC Dallas**: Jesus Ferreira - The Homegrown striker has had a good run against the Timbers over the years, including a hat trick in last year’s home meeting. Get him the ball early and often in this one, and let him do his magic.

**Keep it clean, please**: Dallas has conceded a goal in 11 straight matches dating back to last season (incl. playoffs), it’s the longest active streak in MLS.

**Chasing club history**: Jesús Ferreira scored his third goal of the 2023 season. He has 39 MLS goals and is seven away from tying Kenny Cooper (46) for most in FC Dallas history.
