MLS Preview: New York City FC (9-4-5) at FC Dallas (7-5-7)

Four of the six all-time meetings between FC Dallas and New York City have ended in draws, with each team winning once at home, with both teams scoring in all six games. Only Portland vs. New England (8/11 – 72.7%) has a higher draw rate than Dallas vs. New York City FC (4/6 – 66.7%, min. 6 meetings).

FC Dallas drew, 2-2, at Houston on Saturday, conceding an equalizing goal in the 11th minute of stoppage time. Teenage Hadebe’s goal for Houston at 90’+10:28 was the latest open play goal in MLS history as the only later goal in league history was a Patryk Klimala penalty for the Red Bulls against NYCFC (90’+11:24) last September.

New York City FC won three penalties (converting two) in the first half of its 4-2 win over the Revolution on Saturday. NYCFC became the first team in MLS history to be awarded three penalties in a single match.

Jesús Ferreira scored what appeared to be the winning goal for Dallas in the third minute of stoppage time on Saturday against Houston, his 11th goal in 19 appearances this season. The last FC Dallas player with more goals after 19 appearances of a season was Kenny Cooper (13) in 2008.

Valentín Castellanos scored two of NYCFC’s four goals against New England on Saturday. It was his sixth multi-goal home game since the start of the 2021 season, twice as many as any other player in the league in that time.
