Frisco, TX (August 9, 2025) – FC Dallas will look to reverse its home fortunes as they prepare for their next MLS fixture at Toyota Stadium, where the club has endured one of the toughest home campaigns in recent memory. Despite playing in front of sellout crowds for an unprecedented 28 straight matches, the results have not matched the energy in the stands.
Through 12 home games in 2025, Dallas holds a 2-8-2 record in Frisco, struggling to find consistent form in both Western and Eastern Conference matchups. The club has gone 2-6-1 against the West and 0-2-1 versus the East, leaving valuable points on the table during a season when playoff positioning is tightening.
Goals Hard to Come By at Home
Scoring production in North Texas has been limited, with just 14 goals at Toyota Stadium this season. Designated Player Petar Musa has led the way, netting five goals on home turf, followed by Logan Farrington with four. Former club captain Luciano Acosta, who was recently transferred to Fluminense FC, added two goals before his departure, while Anderson Julio, Léo Chú, Sebastian Lletget, and Kaick have chipped in one each.
While Dallas has created chances in stretches, finishing has been inconsistent, a factor that has repeatedly cost the team points late in matches. The attack will need to find sharper execution in the final third to capitalize on the home-field advantage provided by their loyal supporters.
Unmatched Fan Support Amid Renovations
Despite on-field struggles, the support in the stands has never been stronger. The sellout streak, now at 28 games, is the longest in club history and a testament to the growing soccer culture in North Texas.
Toyota Stadium, currently undergoing renovations on its east side, has remained a fortress of atmosphere if not results. The ongoing upgrades are expected to enhance the fan experience, with improved seating, updated facilities, and expanded premium areas scheduled to be completed ahead of the 2026 season.
Head coach [Coach’s Name] has repeatedly credited the fans for their unwavering backing:
“They show up every single match, regardless of the scoreline or the standings,” the coach said earlier this week. “It’s on us to reward that loyalty with performances and results worthy of their support.”
Keys to Turning It Around
For Dallas, the formula to improve at home starts with defensive stability. The club has been competitive in stretches but has often conceded goals at critical moments. Staying compact and organized, particularly against high-pressing opponents, will be essential.
On the attacking side, Musa’s presence up top remains crucial. The Croatian striker’s ability to hold up play and draw defenders creates opportunities for Farrington and the supporting midfielders. With Acosta gone, Dallas will need others — potentially Lletget or Chú — to step into the creative role and supply consistent service to the front line.
Set pieces could also be a deciding factor. Dallas has been near the middle of the pack in MLS for goals from dead-ball situations but has the aerial presence to threaten more frequently, especially with Musa, Julio, and center backs pushing forward on corners and free kicks.
The Stakes Moving Forward
With the season entering its decisive stretch, FC Dallas cannot afford to keep dropping points at home. While their road form has been marginally better, MLS success is built on turning home stadiums into points banks — something Dallas has yet to accomplish in 2025.
Friday night offers another chance to shift momentum, with the sellout crowd again behind them. The combination of passionate fan energy, a tightened defensive shape, and sharper finishing could be the catalyst for a much-needed turnaround.
