(Photo via FC Dallas)<\/p>\n<p>\n        Published:<br \/>\n        September 15, 2025, 11:23 am\n      <\/p>\n<p>FC Dallas picked up arguably their most important win of the season to date on Saturday, by downing former boss Nico Estevez and Austin FC 2-0. <\/p>\n<p>Petar Musa scored his 15th goal of the season, getting him one step closer to the club&#8217;s regular season record of 18 goals. Jacob Jackson also picked up the club&#8217;s latest shutout, making it the first time in 10 years that FC Dallas has three goalkeepers pick up shutouts in a single season. <\/p>\n<p>Overall, the game on Saturday was a lot of fun to rewatch, Let&#8217;s dive into the notes from it. <\/p>\n<p>All gas from the start<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been waiting for FC Dallas to begin a game with some serious energy and momentum. From the second the match kicked off, FC Dallas had its foot firmly planted on the gas pedal and caught Austin off guard. <\/p>\n<p>What I love about this (and the other goal for that matter) is how Jacob Jackson begins the play with a long ball. No wasting time to get things built up and just a full steam ahead into the attacking third. <\/p>\n<p>FC Dallas manager Eric Quill said after the game to the media that he was impressed by how his team started this match and carried the energy throughout the entire game. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I feel like this is probably the best performance I&#8217;ve seen this year, from beginning to end on both sides of the ball. We had some great goals, chance creations, defended crosses beautifully and we showed commitment tonight. &#8211; Quill on the team&#8217;s hot start<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The combination play between Musa and Logan Farrington continues to grow and improve with every game. I think Quill has to start these two together for the remainder of the season if he can (provided that Musa doesn&#8217;t get a yellow card accumulation suspension any time soon now that he is one away from it). They&#8217;re quickly becoming the one-two punch this team has needed all season long. <\/p>\n<p>Bernie coming into his own<\/p>\n<p>          This post is for paying subscribers only<\/p>\n<p>      <a class=\"kg-button gh-btn rounded-btn! bg-brand! text-brand-contrast! hover:brightness-110 font-medium!\" data-portal=\"signup\" href=\"#\/portal\/signup\">Subscribe now<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-typ\">Already have an account? <a class=\"kg-link text-typ! hover:text-brand! hover:opacity-100! decoration-2! underline-offset-2!\" data-portal=\"signin\" href=\"#\/portal\/signin\">Sign in<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The team may actually be peaking at the right moment.
