May 10, 2025; Frisco, Texas, USA; FC Dallas midfielder Paxton Pomykal (19) controls the ball against the Real Salt Lake during the second half at Toyota Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Tim Heitman-Imagn Images FC Dallas hopes to build on the encouraging return from injury of one of its longest-tenured players on Saturday when it hosts a Houston Dynamo side seeking its first away win of the season in the battle at Frisco, Texas.
Dallas midfielder Paxton Pomykal came on for the final nine-plus minutes of a 1-1 draw against 10-man Real Salt Lake last weekend. It was his first action in 434 days following an extended recovery from surgery to repair knee cartilage.
“It was pretty surreal. You dream about the time you’re going to step back out on the field after being out that long,” Pomykal told the club’s radio team this week. “I wish I could have savored the moment a little more. Just because 400-plus days is a crazy amount of time. And then within five seconds, you’re on the field and you have to dial it back in.”
Striker Petar Musa also came on late for 18 minutes in his first action in four weeks. But despite seeing RSL reduced to 10 men only four minutes following Anderson Julio’s equalizer, Dallas (4-4-4, 16 points) couldn’t find a winner.
The result leaves manager Eric Quill’s group with only one win in its last six MLS matches (1-2-3) entering a rematch of their season-opening 2-1 win in Houston.
The Dynamo (3-6-4, 13 points) are searching for their first back-to-back victories following a 2-0 home win over Minnesota United on Wednesday night.
“We were unlucky to not get on the scoresheet earlier, but we kept plugging away, putting balls into the box and earning corner kicks,” said Houston head coach Ben Olsen. “Defensively, we were very sound, and it was nice to score another one later in the second half. Overall, it was just a really good performance from the group.”
Defenders Pablo Ortiz and Felipe Andrade scored their first MLS goals in their first starts for Houston during a game in which both teams fielded heavily rotated lineups.
The Dynamo have made other additions since their previous loss to Dallas, most notably Slovakian international midfielder Ondrej Lingr. He has scored twice in his first five league appearances.
American international Duane Holmes is also thought to be nearing his debut. He suffered a broken leg weeks before his transfer from Preston North End.

Patriots 2025 NFL schedule: Observations, notable quirks, predictions for all 17 regular-season games
Getty Images The New England Patriots may be on the doorstep of finally crawling out of the basement in the AFC. After consecutive 4-13 seasons and failing to reach the playoffs in four of the last five years, things are looking up in Foxborough. This offseason, the Patriots brought in Mike Vrabel as head coach and went on a spending spree in free agency, which fetched the likes of defensive tackle Milton Williams, wide receiver Stefon Diggs and cornerback Carlton Davis, among others. New England also solidified key areas of need in the NFL Draft, most notably selecting LSU left tackle Will Campbell No. 4 overall. All that paired alongside promising second-year quarterback Drake Maye at the helm, and the Patriots are suddenly a sleeper pick to reach the postseason in the AFC. Now, we know the exact path Vrabel's team will go […]

Today’s best MLB pitcher strikeout props: Back Cardinals starter against Royals
Imagen Images All 30 MLB teams will take the field on Saturday as MLB's rivalry weekend continues, with the highlights being the Yankees hosting the Mets for the Subway Series in the Bronx and Astros and Rangers competing to be the biggest team in Texas. One more subdued rivalry clash will happen in Philadelphia, where the Phillies host their cross-state neighbors, the Pittsburgh Pirates. Philly will send ace Zack Wheeler to the mound to handle the lowly Pirates, who are 15-30. Wheeler, who is 4-1 with a 2.95 ERA, is set at 7.5 strikeouts at DraftKings Sportsbook (Over -125, Under -105).

The model has four strikeout props it prefers to Wheeler's […]
