MATCH NOTES

  • Midfielder Patrickson Delgado scored his first goal of the season.
  • Former FC Dallas defender Matt Hedges formally retired tonight after signing a one-day contract.

FRISCO, Texas (Oct. 4, 2025) – FC Dallas (10-11-11, 41 points) earned three points with a 2-1 win over the LA Galaxy (5-18-9, 24 points) on Saturday evening at Toyota Stadium in the final home game of the regular season.

HISTORY MAKER

Forward Petar Musa scored his team-leading 18th goal of the season in the 35th minute off a Christian Cappis assist. He extends his goal-scoring streak to five matches with today’s goal, the third longest in the league this year. Musa joins Jason Kreis (’99), Kenny Cooper (’08) and Jesús Ferreira (’22) to score 18 goals in a single season in FC Dallas history.

ALEGRIA PURA

Midfielder Patrickson Delgado gave FC Dallas a 2-1 lead in the first half with a strike from outside the box. It was Delgado’s first goal of the season and fifth of his FC Dallas career. His previous goal came against LAFC on Sept. 21, 2024, and each of his last two goals have been game-winners for Dallas.

STREAKING CONTINUES

Today’s win extended FC Dallas’ unbeaten streak to eight games dating back to Aug. 9, when the club defeated Portland Timbers 2-0 at Toyota Stadium. Dallas has earned 16 points (4-0-4) over that span. The eight-game run is the longest of the season, coinciding with Dallas’ active streak of scoring in 11 straight games.

PAXTON RETURNS

After 140 days, FC Dallas Homegrown midfielder Paxton Pomykal made his return to the pitch in added time in the second half. Pomykal last appeared in MLS play on May 17, 2025, against Houston Dynamo.

PLAYOFF PICTURE

FC Dallas controls its playoff fate heading into the final two matches of the regular season. As of Saturday afternoon, Dallas sits in eighth place in the Western Conference, a position that would have the club host the Western Conference Wild Card match in the Audi 2025 MLS Cup Playoffs starting on Wednesday, Oct. 22.

THANK YOU, MATT
