FC Dallas Opens 30th MLS Season with Comeback Victory over Houston Dynamo

In the opening weekend of the MLS season, FC Dallas secured a 2-1 comeback victory against Houston Dynamo, marking their first win in Houston since 2016. Petar Musa and Anderson Julio scored to lead Dallas, with Julio netting the game-winner in his debut after being acquired from Real Salt Lake. Meanwhile, Austin FC also kicked off their season with a 1-0 win over Sporting Kansas City, showcasing strong offensive control led by Osman Bukari, while their defense stifled Kansas City's attempts. St. Louis CITY SC, however, opened their season with a scoreless draw against Colorado Rapids despite dominating the game in terms of shots and chances. The season's early results highlight a mix of strong performances and missed opportunities across the league as teams settle into their campaigns. Notably, the average ticket price for MLS games has surged by 60% this year in anticipation of the 2026 World Cup.
