FC Dallas squares off against Sporting Kansas City once more this week, but this time, a lot more will be on the line as they meet in the quarterfinals of the 2024 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup.
The two teams met earlier this week in league play, and Sporting KC won 3-2.
FC Dallas Notes:
Key player for FC Dallas: Petar Musa - He came off the bench in Sunday’s game and scored, so why not start him tonight and allow him to do that a few more times? Sounds good.
Increased Scoring: Dallas has scored 23 goals in the past 14 games, 14 of which have come since Peter Luccin took over as interim manager.
How they got here: FC Dallas first downed Memphis 901 1-0 at home before keeper Maarten Paes put on a clinic in a 2-1 win over Tampa Bay.
Potential Lineup:
We saw a heavily rotated lineup on Sunday against SKC; tonight should look more normal.
Paes, Junqua, Ibeagha, Tafari; Arriola, Illarramendi, Lletget, Farfan; Farrington, Ntsabeleng, Musa
