The good vibes at Toyota Stadium are back for FC Dallas. On Saturday night, FC Dallas snapped a two-game losing streak at home as they came from behind to defeat Sporting Kansas City 2-1.

Lucho Acosta scores his third goal of the season, while Leo Chu scored his first goal in a Dallas uniform to help guide FC Dallas to its third win of the 2025 season.

Sporting put Dallas on the back foot early and in the 32nd minute, Daniel Salloi scored the game’s opening goal off a cross into the penalty box from Shapi Suleymanov. The goal was Salloi’s ninth against FC Dallas in the regular season.

Five minutes later, FC Dallas responded on a counter attack goal from Acosta. The ball was played forward where Acosta was able to dribble it forward before taking on a few Sporting defenders. He laid the ball off to Musa, who then played it directly back to him in the penalty box where he beat Sporting keeper John Pulskamp.

Two minutes later, FC Dallas took over the lead thanks to Chu’s first goal in a Dallas uniform. Osaze Urhoghide played a long ball over top the Sporting defense where Sebastian Lletget was able to get on the end of it. Lletget dribbled the ball into the penalty box and then slipped the ball through where Chu was able to meet it and fire home a shot past Pulskamp.

Sporting pressed for an equalizer and came close in the 80th minute on a free kick from Memo Rodriguez that found Dany Rosero open at the back post to head the ball toward goal, but Maarten Paes was able to make a stop.

Instant Reaction: After the opening 20 minutes, it felt like this was going to be another one of those nights for FC Dallas. But the team’s response after going down a goal was great to see tonight. Once Dallas finally started pushing the ball forward into the Sporting end, the chances came and were good. The defense was still put under a ton of pressure in the second half and had Paes not come up big a couple of times, this could have been a different game.

About the Subs: Eric Quill went to his bench about eleven minutes into the second half as he had a double dub to bring on Tsiki Ntsabeleng and Logan Farrington for Leo Chu and Patrickson Delgado. In the 75th minute, Quill had two more subs as Sebastian Lletget and Nolan Norris came off for Marco Farfan and Kaick. The final sub came in during stoppage time as Lalas Abubakar came on for Lucho Acosta.

Man of the Match: Acosta pulled the strings tonight and helped get the three points, but let’s also give a shout out to Maarten Paes for keeping things where they were when FCD got the lead.

Where does this fit into the season: It is still early but the win pushed FC Dallas into fourth place in the Western Conference with ten points. That could easily change by the end of the night.

What’s next for FC Dallas: The club kicks off the new month that will see them on the road for three of four weeks, starting first with a trip to battle Atlanta United next weekend.

This week, we present five newly crafted draft-related questions, all obviously focused on the Dallas Cowboys. Specifically, these questions will center around the team’s options on Day 2 of the NFL Draft, asking how their strategy should work and potential impact that could have on the season. Cast your vote on each and leave your opinions in the comment section.

Which position should be the top priority for Dallas in the second round of the NFL draft? (Their first pick was CB Will Johnson in this hypothetical)

We come in fast and ask you what position the Cowboys should prioritize if they were to take a cornerback in the first round of the draft. Defensive back is still a primary need and taking a high-flying cornerback like Will Johnson would transform the secondary. But what would be the next position to target after that?

Which potential Day 2 running back would be the best fit for the Cowboys?

Day 2 is the sweet spot with plenty of options at the running back position. The Cowboys have signed two running backs to the roster but both carry question marks as to their production. If Dallas went out and targeted a running back on Day 2, who would you want it to be?

Which second-round prospect should the Cowboys target to improve their defense in the 2025 NFL Draft?

Switching to the defense, there are great options for Dallas to target in Day 2 of the draft. Whether it’s defensive back, a run-stuffing defensive tackle. or linebacker, there are some great prospects to choose from that carry great value. But who would you want to take on Day 2 to bolster the defense?

Which Round 3 wide receiver would be the best fit for the Cowboys?

The wide receiver talent depth is not what we are usually accustomed to from previous seasons. But if Dallas waited until the third round to take a shiny new pass catcher, which prospect would be the best fit?

Which Day 2 offensive lineman would give the Cowboys the biggest immediate impact?

Offensive line is still an obvious area of the roster that needs improving. Dallas may look to go BPA in the first round or land an unexpected talent that falls to pick 12. That means waiting till Day 2 to find the next offensive line upgrade. If that was the case, who’s your pet cat to fill the offensive line needs in the second or third round?

A man has been arrested in connection with a brazen attack on a bride-to-be.

Dallas police say Trevon Woodards, 27, was arrested in Bedford on Friday.

He faces an aggravated assault charge for alleged attacks near Gaston and Good Latimer near Deep Ellum.

Woodards is accused of punching Canada Rinaldi, 27, in the face as she and a group of friends walked toward their Uber on Floyd Street just before 2 a.m. Sunday.

Rinaldi was in town from Oklahoma for a bachelorette trip. She’s getting married in April.

Rinaldi suffered a broken nose, three broken teeth and needed stitches in her forehead.

One of the bridesmaids, Kelly Peralta, says she was also struck by the suspect when she tried to help Rinaldi.

Peralta suffered a black eye and swelling.

Woodards was identified by police on Friday afternoon, hours before his arrest.

“It’s really relieving,” said Rinaldi.

Stephanie Keller Hudiburg is executive director of the Deep Ellum Foundation, a nonprofit that promotes public safety in the area.

“It’s a community that has a very passionate response to safety and cares deeply. We have a community safety plan for that reason,” said Keller Hudiburg.

The Deep Ellum Community Safety Plan includes a SeeSay app where the public can report a variety of issues and problems. Keller Hudiburg says the Foundation also has security working around the clock, along with more than 100 security cameras in and around Deep Ellum.

“We are grateful,” Keller Hudiburg told NBC 5 in response to the arrest.

Three photos of Woodards released by Dallas police Friday show him on a DART platform, a police body camera image of Woodards during an interaction with him at Target on March 21, and a mugshot of Woodards from February after he violated probation on a previous assault charge. It was recommended that he spend 10 days in jail.

“I don’t think that he’s an awful person; I think that he just needs help,” said Rinaldi. “I think he still has to pay the price for what he did.”
