The good vibes at Toyota Stadium are back for FC Dallas. On Saturday night, FC Dallas snapped a two-game losing streak at home as they came from behind to defeat Sporting Kansas City 2-1.

Lucho Acosta scores his third goal of the season, while Leo Chu scored his first goal in a Dallas uniform to help guide FC Dallas to its third win of the 2025 season.

Sporting put Dallas on the back foot early and in the 32nd minute, Daniel Salloi scored the game's opening goal off a cross into the penalty box from Shapi Suleymanov. The goal was Salloi's ninth against FC Dallas in the regular season.

Five minutes later, FC Dallas responded on a counter attack goal from Acosta. The ball was played forward where Acosta was able to dribble it forward before taking on a few Sporting defenders. He laid the ball off to Musa, who then played it directly back to him in the penalty box where he beat Sporting keeper John Pulskamp.

Two minutes later, FC Dallas took over the lead thanks to Chu's first goal in a Dallas uniform. Osaze Urhoghide played a long ball over top the Sporting defense where Sebastian Lletget was able to get on the end of it. Lletget dribbled the ball into the penalty box and then slipped the ball through where Chu was able to meet it and fire home a shot past Pulskamp.

Sporting pressed for an equalizer and came close in the 80th minute on a free kick from Memo Rodriguez that found Dany Rosero open at the back post to head the ball toward goal, but Maarten Paes was able to make a stop.

Instant Reaction: After the opening 20 minutes, it felt like this was going to be another one of those nights for FC Dallas. But the team's response after going down a goal was great to see tonight. Once Dallas finally started pushing the ball forward into the Sporting end, the chances came and were good. The defense was still put under a ton of pressure in the second half and had Paes not come up big a couple of times, this could have been a different game.

About the Subs: Eric Quill went to his bench about eleven minutes into the second half as he had a double dub to bring on Tsiki Ntsabeleng and Logan Farrington for Leo Chu and Patrickson Delgado. In the 75th minute, Quill had two more subs as Sebastian Lletget and Nolan Norris came off for Marco Farfan and Kaick. The final sub came in during stoppage time as Lalas Abubakar came on for Lucho Acosta.

Man of the Match: Acosta pulled the strings tonight and helped get the three points, but let's also give a shout out to Maarten Paes for keeping things where they were when FCD got the lead.

Where does this fit into the season: It is still early but the win pushed FC Dallas into fourth place in the Western Conference with ten points. That could easily change by the end of the night.

What’s next for FC Dallas: The club kicks off the new month that will see them on the road for three of four weeks, starting first with a trip to battle Atlanta United next weekend.
