FC Dallas Hosts Houston Dynamo Amid Rain Delay

Frisco, Texas – FC Dallas faces Houston Dynamo tonight at Toyota Stadium in a crucial matchup. The teams compete for El Capitan, and a win or a draw will secure the trophy for FC Dallas.

Currently, the match is delayed due to rain, with gate opening scheduled for 7 p.m. Kickoff is also pushed back, and updates will be provided on BlueSky as more information becomes available.

FC Dallas manager Eric Quill has chosen a 4-2-3-1 formation once again. A significant change in the lineup sees Michael Collodi starting for the second time in place of Maarten Paes, who is unavailable due to a stomach bug.

The defense includes Osaze Urhoghide and Sebastien Ibeagha at center-back, with Nolan Norris and Shaq Moore as full-backs. In the midfield, Ramiro returns from suspension alongside Kaick, supporting Lucho Acosta in the attack. Additionally, Pedrinho and Anderson Julio will occupy the wing positions.

Petar Musa is also set to make his first start in over a month following an ankle injury. Quill’s bench will feature Marco Farfan, who is back from injury, along with Lalas Abubakar, Patrickson Delgado, Tsiki Ntsabeleng, Paxton Pomykal, Show, Logan Farrington, Bernard Kamungo, and Antonio Carrera.

Despite no suspensions, FC Dallas’ injury report includes Geovane Jesus and Enzo Newman sidelined due to knee injuries. Sebastian Lletget and Léo Chú are also out, while Tomas Pondeca, Carl Sainte, Enes Sali, Diego Pepi, and Herbert Endeley are on loan.

This match marks a critical point for FC Dallas as they seek to build momentum at home following their recent draw against Real Salt Lake last week. The team hopes for a strong performance in the Texas Derby.
