On a damp Saturday night, FC Dallas (3-6-2, 11 points) captured a significant 2-1 victory against Austin FC (4-4-4, 16 points), marking another chapter in the Copa Tejas rivalry. The game, played in front of a packed Toyota Stadium audience, added to FC Dallas' streak of sell-outs this season.
Musa Sparks Early Lead
Petar Musa, continuing his impressive form, netted the opening goal in the fourth minute, the quickest for the team this season. This goal came after capitalizing on an error by Austin FC, breaking their record of 307 consecutive minutes without conceding a goal. Musa, leading his team with four goals this year, has proved pivotal especially against Texan teams.
Ferreira Makes History
Jesús Ferreira, a homegrown talent of FC Dallas, reached a significant milestone by scoring his 50th MLS career goal, becoming the youngest in the league's history to do so. At 23 years and 132 days old, he surpassed New England Revolution’s Diego Fagúndez to claim this record. His goal, which was the second for Dallas that evening, followed an assist from Musa.
Consistent Crowds and Future Challenges
FC Dallas has seen a robust attendance record this year, with the club achieving its sixth consecutive sell-out for the season, a first in its history. Looking ahead, FC Dallas is set to continue its Texas rivalry, facing Houston Dynamo FC on the road in the upcoming Texas Derby finale at Shell Energy Stadium on May 18.
