FC Dallas Notes:

Key player for FC Dallas: Petar Musa - If he is healthy to go in this one, we need to see him bring out the best in Lucho Acosta, too. That has been lacking for the last month in the Dallas attack.

All-time at home vs RSL: FC Dallas has an all-time record of 24-15-12 versus Real Salt Lake, with a 14-2-7 record at Toyota Stadium. FC Dallas has outscored Salt Lake 78 to 62 in regular season play.

Homegrown clock: FC Dallas is starting to pick up the Homegrown minutes this season. Michael Collodi earned a start in Salt Lake a few weeks ago, and Nolan Norris has now earned three straight starts with Marco Farfan out with an injury. All together, they’ve accounted for 475 minutes this season.

Notable season stats:

  • Anderson Julio leads MLS alongside Tani Oluwaseyi and Anders
    Dreyer in goals scored on counterattack with two.
  • Osaze Urhoghide is third in MLS in aerial challenges won with 36.
  • Urhoghide is tied second in goals scored from freekicks with one.
  • Urhoghide is tied for first across MLS in aerial challenges won
    without ball control with 30.
  • Shaq Moore is tied for 11th in MLS in clearances with 19.
