After going 24 games without a win, the Whitecaps have won their last three games against Dallas, including both of those games in 2022. Last season, Vancouver was the only team to beat Dallas twice in the regular season.
Despite leading at halftime in both of their MLS debuts this season, the Whitecaps have failed to win. The Whitecaps are the first MLS team since D. C. United in November 2020 to lose consecutive games after leading at halftime. This is the first time in the club’s history.
Last season, FC Dallas only lost six regular season road games (W4 D7), the fewest in a full season since only losing three away from home in 2010. In each of its previous two full MLS seasons, Dallas has lost at least 10 road games (11 in 2019 and 10 in 2021).
For the third time in club history, the Whitecaps have lost their first two games of the season (also in 2016 and 2019), and 2019 is the only year that Vancouver has not won its first three games.
In FC Dallas’ 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Galaxy on Saturday, Jesus Ferreira scored twice, equaling Jeff Cunningham’s record for most multi-goal games with Dallas. Only Jason Kreis has scored multiple goals for Dallas in more MLS games than Ferreira has.
