FC Dallas Aims to Stay Hot Against Struggling Sounders
FC Dallas looks to extend its unbeaten run and continue building momentum when it hosts the injury-riddled Seattle Sounders on Saturday in a Western Conference clash in Frisco, Texas.
The Toros (3-2-2, 11 points) are riding a three-match unbeaten streak and enter the weekend fresh off a gritty 1-1 draw in Atlanta. After conceding an early penalty, Dallas equalized behind Petar Musa’s third goal of the season—his sixth goal involvement of the year, tying him with Luciano Acosta for the team lead.

“I instill that aggression, that belief in these guys… I like where we’re trending. I like where we’re going,”
– FC Dallas coach Eric Quill on his team’s mentality heading into Saturday.
A win or draw would match Dallas’ longest unbeaten streak from last season, and with Musa leading the way, confidence is building in North Texas.

The outlook is far less optimistic for Seattle (1-3-3, 6 points), which sits 12th in the West and hasn’t picked up a win since March 8. A 3-0 loss to expansion side San Diego FC last weekend extended their winless streak to four matches (0-2-2).
The Sounders have been plagued by injuries, especially in the attacking third. Jordan Morris has three goals in just three appearances but remains sidelined, and Paul Arriola—acquired from Dallas in the offseason—suffered a season-ending ACL tear. Pedro de la Vega is also out, thinning Seattle’s forward depth even further.
“We know this is not the start we would want… We have to flip that switch at some point, and it has to be soon,”
– Sounders forward Jesús Ferreira on Seattle’s slow start to 2025.
Saturday will mark Ferreira’s return to Dallas, where he starred before being traded to Seattle this past offseason. While he hasn’t scored yet, he has tallied two assists for his new club.

Seattle has struggled on the road, earning just one point in four away matches this season. However, they’ve historically fared well against Dallas—unbeaten in the last five regular season meetings and victorious in the 2023 playoff series.
Still, with Dallas gaining form and Seattle trying to weather an injury storm, the Toros appear poised to turn the tide in this rivalry.
