Stats
Club Notes
Heavy rotation: Defender Lalas Abubakar, midfielders Samuel Sarver and Ran Binyamin and forward Nicholas Simmonds made their first starts of the season tonight in Seattle. This was Binyamin and Simmonds’ first starts for FC Dallas as both players were acquired in the 2026 offseason. Simmonds was drafted No. 3 overall in the 2026 MLS SuperDraft and made his MLS Debut on April 18, 2026, against Minnesota United FC while Binyamin was acquired from Hapoel Tel Aviv F.C.
Abubakar’s 200th: Defender Lalas Abubakar made his 200th MLS regular season career appearance tonight after starting his first game of the season versus the Sounders. Abubakar appeared in 29 matches last season for Dallas and recorded one goal.
Penalty save: Goalkeeper Michael Collodi made his first MLS penalty-kick save. FC Dallas last registered a penalty kick save on Aug. 31, 2024, when Maarten Peas made the stop.
Norris’ first goal: Norris’ goal is the first scored by a Homegrown player this season, with the defender becoming the club’s fifth different goal scorer of 2026. Norris joined the FC Dallas Academy at 12 years old and has now scored for the club at the MLS NEXT, MLS NEXT Pro and MLS levels. His was the first goal by an FC Dallas Homegrown in a MLS regular season match since September 18, 2024, when Jesús Ferreira scored against Real Salt Lake.
