FC Dallas looks to rebound after a tough loss in last week’s Brimstone Cup to the Chicago Fire. They’ll get a chance to redeem themselves at home on Saturday as they host the Vancouver Whitecaps.
Vancouver comes into Saturday’s game with an undefeated record through the first three games of the regular season. Last weekend, they defeated CF Montreal at home before picking up a series win in the Concacaf Champions Cup against Liga MX side Monterrey.

FC Dallas Notes:
Key player for FC Dallas: Petar Musa - The Croatian started off strong in 2025 with two goals and two assists, but last week’s penalty miss against Chicago was a set back. Dallas needs to continue to find him in open spaces in and around the penalty area to be successful in its attack.
Last time against Vancouver: The two sides met twice in 2024, with the Caps coming up on top in their lone meeting in Frisco last spring. The return match last September in Vancouver was a scoreless draw.
All-time against Vancouver: Dallas holds a slight edge in the all-time series with a 11-10-9 record.
Last win vs Vancouver: You have to jump back to the 2023 season for the last series win by FC Dallas, when they defeated the Caps 2-1.
Homegrown clock: For the first time in a number of years, FC Dallas has yet to use a Homegrown player this season.
Potential Lineup:
Eric Quill will be without Anderson Julio (out obtaining a green card), so he will have to continue to rotate at both wings.
Paes; Farfan, Urhoghide, Ibeagha, Moore; Benetti, Lletget, Kamungo; Acosta, Farrington, Musa
