FC Dallas own goals cost them as Petar Musa scores for the first time

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. — The Colorado Rapids used own goals by FC Dallas’ Sebastien Ibeagha to close out the first half and Sam Junqua early in the second to post a 2-1 victory on Saturday night.

Colorado (4-2-3) took a 1-0 lead into halftime on Ibeagha’s gaffe in the 45th minute. Junqua’s misplay came four minutes into the second half.

Dallas (1-5-2) made things interesting when rookie forward Petar Musa found the net in the 87th minute for his first career goal. The 26-year-old was making his seventh appearance, all starts. Liam Fraser notched his second career assist on the score. His first came in 2019 while he was a member of Toronto FC.

Zack Steffen, in his first season with the Rapids, finished with two saves. Steffen had been out of the league since making 76 starts for the Columbus Crew from 2017-19. He posted his first clean sheet of the season in a 3-0 road win over the San Jose Earthquakes last time out.

Maarten Paes totaled three saves for Dallas. The club was coming off back-to-back scoreless draws after surrendering 10 goals in its first five matches.

Colorado improves to 21-9-11 all-time in the series. Saturday marked the 28th anniversary of the first meeting between the clubs — a 3-1 victory by the Rapids at Mile High Stadium in Denver.

Dallas leads the overall series 35-29-19 but has not won in Colorado since 2014.

Dallas returns home to play the Houston Dynamo on Saturday. Colorado travels to play FC Cincinnati on Saturday.

Preston Hollow residents oppose proposed 0 million mixed-use development in Dallas, survey reveals

It’s called a blue card survey. But some residents in the Preston Hollow neighborhood of Dallas believe it could be their ace in the hole and their fight against the proposed development.

The 2019 tornado left a trail of destruction in North Dallas, including Victor Toledo’s home. He said been able to rebuild along with others in his neighborhood.

But he says one area is still an eyesore.

“It’s become a very desirable neighborhood, other than that one corner, that one corner is still stuck six years ago with the old office buildings,” said Toledo.

That “one corner” he’s referring to is the southwest side of Preston Road in Royal Lane.

It’s where developers want to build an $800 million 19-story resort hotel, apartment building, and mixed-use development.

There are signs all around Preston Hollow opposing the project.

A recently completed survey of residences within 500 yards of it reveals just how strong the opposition is.

City of Dallas survey:

258 opposed
7 in favor
18 no response

Margaret Chabris hopes the city’s planning and zoning commission, which meets again on Aug. 6, will take the results of the survey seriously.

“It does have an impact because this is what the city wanted to know, and this is the chance that residents and property owners right here can voice their opinion; it should have a considerable impact.”

But some residents, like Toledo, believe the benefits of the development outweigh concerns about traffic and construction.

“It’ll be great for the neighborhood to have that kind of amenity,” Toledo said. “To have hotel options, new restaurants. Now it’s a vacant old building that wasn’t being used much.”

Klyde Warren Park reveals expansion plans, construction timeline

Klyde Warren Park, a top attraction in Dallas for more than a decade, is growing. Park and city leaders revealed details about the project on Monday morning, which will expand the park to 7.1 acres.

The park, which opened in 2012, connects Uptown Dallas with the Arts District over a recessed portion of Woodall Rodgers Freeway. The construction will span west to cover the remaining portion of the freeway, totaling 1.7 acres of new park space, according to the plans released Monday.

It will feature the Jacobs Lawn, a 37,000-square-foot green space that can be used for all types of community gatherings, performances and markets. In the winter, the lawn will feature an ice rink. Next to the lawn, the Overlook will give visitors a view of the highway traffic below them.

The expansion will also include a two-story pavilion with 24,000 square feet of climate-controlled event space, plus a rooftop terrace.

“This expansion isn’t simply about adding acreage. It’s an investment in Dallas, an investment in the community and an investment in future generations,” Klyde Warren Park chairman Jody Grant said in a statement.

“The expansion of this Park is exactly the kind of transformative investment we must continue to make throughout Dallas’s urban core. It will add new green space for residents to enjoy while driving continued economic growth, connecting our communities, and enhancing the quality of life that makes Dallas a destination for families, businesses, and visitors from around the world,” Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson said in a statement.

Construction firm Archer Western won a competitive bid to work on the project, the same firm that built the first phase of the park.

Construction will begin by the end of the year, and is expected to take two years to complete.

CJ Goodwin announces retirement after 8 seasons with Cowboys

CJ Goodwin announces retirement after 8 seasons with Cowboys

FRISCO, Texas — After 12 seasons in the NFL and the last eight with the Dallas Cowboys, defensive back CJ Goodwin has announced his retirement.

Goodwin, 36, has played in 108 games for the Cowboys since he joined the team in 2018. He was the second longest-tenured Cowboy on the roster behind only Dak Prescott, who preceded Goodwin by two seasons.

Since 2019, Goodwin has been one of Dallas’ key players on special teams, recording 69 tackles with the Cowboys [ninth in Cowboys history] and 87 in his NFL career. In 2021, Goodwin became the first player in franchise history to lead the team in special teams tackles for three consecutive seasons.

After going undrafted in 2014, Goodwin received a tryout with the Pittsburgh Steelers after Steelers Hall of Fame cornerback Mel Blount, whose son attended high school with Goodwin and who Goodwin had worked for as a farm hand, urged the team to give him an opportunity. Pittsburgh would sign him as an undrafted free agent afterwards.

Following time with the Steelers, Falcons, Cardinals, Giants, 49ers and Bengals, the Cowboys signed Goodwin off of Cincinnati’s practice squad in October of 2018.

In his eight seasons with Dallas, Goodwin notched 2,211 snaps on special teams. He worked primarily as a gunner on punt coverage and was one of Dallas’ most impactful defenders on kickoff coverage during his career with the team.

Goodwin was named one of the Cowboys’ six captains in 2025, and the second captain on special teams alongside Brandon Aubrey. He finished the year with 18 special teams tackles.

In 2026, the Cowboys will now have to look to fill Goodwin’s shoes on special teams. Some of their offseason signings, like safety P.J. Locke, have a strong history as defenders on special teams and could end up being crucial for special teams coordinator Nick Sorensen in his second season in Dallas.
