FC Dallas fans were treated to another night of brilliance from forward Petar Musa, who continues to rewrite the club’s history books. The Croatian striker netted his 18th goal of the season in the 35th minute, finishing off a sharp pass from Christian Cappis. The strike not only extended Musa’s goal-scoring streak to five straight matches—the third longest in MLS this year—but also placed him alongside Dallas legends Jason Kreis (1999), Kenny Cooper (2008), and Jesús Ferreira (2022) as one of only four players ever to hit 18 goals in a single season for the club.
Midfielder Patrickson Delgado broke a 1-1 tie with a thunderous shot from distance, marking his first goal of the season and the fifth of his Dallas career. Known for his clutch timing, Delgado’s last two goals have been game-winners—including one against LAFC last year. His strike sent the Toyota Stadium crowd into a frenzy and ensured the perfect send-off for the home supporters.
With Saturday’s win, FC Dallas extended its unbeaten run to eight matches, dating back to August 9. Over that stretch, the team has gone 4-0-4 and collected 16 crucial points, keeping their postseason hopes alive. The team has also scored in 11 consecutive games, showcasing newfound consistency in attack as the playoffs draw near.
Before kickoff, FC Dallas paid tribute to one of its all-time greats. Matt Hedges, the club’s longtime defensive leader and former captain, officially retired after signing a one-day contract to end his MLS career where it began. The emotional ceremony gave fans a chance to thank the veteran who anchored the Dallas backline for nearly a decade.
With two games remaining, FC Dallas now sits in eighth place in the Western Conference—good enough to host the Wild Card match if the season ended today. The team controls its destiny heading into the final stretch, needing just a few more points to lock in postseason soccer at Toyota Stadium.
