Austin scored on its only two on target. LAFC leads MLS with 32 goals this season, and 20 have come at Banc of California Stadium. Cristian Arango and Diego Palacios scored in the second half of Sunday’s game. It was Arango’s fifth goal, while Palacios became the 14th LAFC player with at least one goal with his first. 

Carlos Vela leads the team with six goals and has added three assists. Jose Cifuentes and Brian Rodriguez also are playmakers for LAFC, each setting up three goals and Cifuentes scoring three and Rodriguez netting two. The Black and Gold outscored the Toros 5-2 in winning both meetings last season, with Arango posting a hat trick in the win in Frisco. Vela, who has been with the team since its inception, scored one of the goals in a 2-0 win in Los Angeles last June.  

Why you should back FC Dallas

The Toros finished 11th in the West last season but have shown huge progress in 2022. They went on a nine-game unbeaten run (6-3-0) before their current slide, and they will be eager to get back on the right side of things. FC Dallas has lost two of its eight road matches, battling to four draws. That includes Saturday’s stalemate in Austin, which the Toros led 2-0 before allowing a pair of goals in the final 20 minutes. FC Dallas had a 6-4 edge in shots on target in that match. 

Paul Arriola scored the first goal Saturday, and Brandon Servania scored the second. Arriola has eight goals and two assists, while Servania has scored two and set up three. Jesus Fereira is tied for the MLS lead with nine goals and has assisted on four. FC Dallas has a plus-9 goal differential and has scored at least once in eight of its past nine matches, while LAFC has allowed seven goals in its past nine.
