The action continues in MLS as FC Dallas and Philadelphia Union go head-to-head at the Toyota Stadium on Saturday. Eric Quill's men head into the weekend looking to get one over the hosts, having gone winless in four clashes since a 2-1 victory in April 2019.
Dallas needed a 92nd-minute strike from 33-year-old defender Sebastien Ibeagha to salvage a 3-3 draw against Cincinnati at the TQL Stadium on Thursday.
Quill's side have gone five back-to-back matches without a win across competitions, losing three, including a shootout loss to New York Red Bulls in the US Open Cup on May 22.
Dallas have won four of 15 matches, losing six, to collect 17 points and are 11th in the Western Conference. Meanwhile, Philadelphia maintained their fine run of results last time out, striking twice in the final six minutes to secure a 2-1 comeback victory over Toronto FC.
Bradley Carnell’s men are unbeaten in 10 games across competitions, winning eight, since April’s 1-0 defeat against New York City FC.
This blistering run of form has seen Philadelphia surge to the summit of the Eastern Conference with 33 points from 16 games, three points above second-placed Cincinnati.
