FRISCO, Texas (Feb. 21, 2026) – FC Dallas (1-0-0, 3 points) defeated Toronto FC (0-1-0, 0 points) 3-2 in the opening match of the 2026 season on Saturday night from Toyota Stadium. Forwards Petar Musa and Logan Farrington combined to score Dallas’ three goals.
THE MOOSE IS LOOSE IN 2026
Forward Petar Musa scored his first and second goals of the season in the ninth and 74th minutes of the match. The Croatian international is coming off his most prolific season yet with the Hoops, scoring 19 goals across all competitions in 2025. Musa joins Jorge “Zarco” Rodriguez and Ariel Graziani as the only players in FC Dallas history to score a brace in a season opener. He also tied Blas Perez for the fourth most goals scored in a FC Dallas uniform with 36.
THE PERFECT PAIRRINGTON STRIKES
Forward Logan Farrington scored his first goal of the season in the 38th minute off a Petar Musa long ball to help Dallas regain the 2-1 lead. Farrington continues to build on his 2025 season, when he scored a career-high five goals in 32 games. His 10th career goal makes him the fastest — and only — player drafted in the 2024 MLS SuperDraft to score 10 goals. It marked the sixth time Musa and Farrington scored in the same match, improving Dallas to 4-2-0 in those games.
