FC Dallas on Saturday hoped to build a encouraging comeback from the injury of one of the longest players when it hosted a Houston Dynamo side, which demands his first victory of the season in the battle in Fisco, Texas.
The Dallas midfielder Paxon Pomekal came for the last nine-plus minutes of the draw 1–1 against 10-man Real Salt Lake in the last weekend. This was his first action in 434 days after recovery from surgery to repair the knee cartilage.
Pomakal told the club’s radio team this week, “It was very real. You dream about the time when you are going back to the ground after being out of the time.” “I wish, I could have tasted this moment a little more. Just because 400-plus days are a crazy amount of time. And then within five seconds, you are on the field and you have to dial it back.”
Striker Petar Musa also came late for 18 minutes in his first action in four weeks. But despite reducing RSL in just four minutes after Anderson Julio’s synonyms, not only a winner was found for only four minutes after Dallas (4-4-4, 16 points).
The result manager Eric Quill’s group leaves the group with only one win in its last six MLS matches (1-2-3), which enters the rematch of his season-opening 2–1 win in Houston.
Dynamo (3-6-4, 13 points) is looking for his first back-to-back win after a 2–0 domestic victory over Minnesota United on Wednesday night.
Houston’s head coach Ben Alassen said, “We were already inauspicious to not come on the scorchheet, but we kept plugging from far, kept the balls in the box and earned the corner kick.” “Defensely, we were very sound, and in the second half it was good to score another later. Overall, it was just a good performance from the group.”
Defenders Pablo Ortis and Felip Andrade scored their first MLS goals in their first MLS goals for Houston during a game, with both teams fielding heavy -rotated lineups.
Dynamo has made other additions to Dallas since its previous damage, especially Slovacian International Midfielder Ondraz Lingar. He has scored twice in his first five league performances.
American International Duane Holmes is also considered close to his onset. He faced a broken leg before his transfer from Preston North End.
