Notable this week:
With Saturday’s win at D.C. United, FC Dallas stretched its unbeaten streak to a franchise-record 10 games. FC Dallas also tied the MLS record for a road unbeaten streak:
FC Dallas (9-games) – 5/1/10 - Current
Chicago Fire (9-games) – 9/8/07 – 5/25/08
Columbus Crew (9-games) – 7/10/04 – 10/16/04
Homegrown rookie Ruben Luna made his debut on the 18-man roster Saturday at D.C. United, but did not see any game action.
Jeff Cunningham scored his seventh goal of the season in the 92nd minute on Saturday. The 2009 Budweiser Golden Boot winner is now just four goals shy of MLS all-time goal scoring leader Jaime Moreno’s 132 mark.
FC Dallas faced D.C. United without midfielder Dax McCarty and defender Ugo Ihemelu. McCarty has not started since FCD’s July 17 contest with Real Salt Lake and has been battling a strained right quadriceps. Ihemelu did not travel after a collision with Philadelphia’s Kyle Nakazawa left the veteran center back with a concussion last Sunday.
