The forward Petar Musa was instrumental in FC Dallas’ emphatic 3-0 victory against St. Louis City on Saturday during Week 21 of the MLS. Musa showcased his skill by netting two goals during the second half, both significant contributions that confirmed his pivotal role in the team’s performance.
The scoring began early when Kaick found the back of the net in the 23rd minute, after receiving a precise cross from Musa and finishing effectively from inside the box. St. Louis City almost grabbed a quick lead as Marcel Hartel hit the post just 4 minutes into the game, leaving their fans yearning for a goal.
In a standout moment of the first half, St. Louis midfielder Cedric Teuchert embarrassed FC Dallas’ Ramiro with an impressive nutmeg, showcasing his technical prowess.
FC Dallas’ coach, Eric Quill, set his team up in a 4-5-1 formation with Maarten Paes in goal; Lalas Abubakar, Álvaro Augusto, Sebastien Ibeagha, and Joshua Torquato forming the defense; Ramiro, Kaick, Bernard Kamungo, Sebastián Lletget, and Logan Farrington in midfield; and Petar Musa leading the attack.
On the other side, St. Louis City, managed by David Critchley, utilized a 4-3-3 strategy, featuring Roman Bürki as their goalkeeper; Jaziel Orozco, Josh Yaro, Timo Baumgartl, and Tomas Totland in defense; and Tomás Ostrák, Cedric Teuchert, and Conrad Wallem controlling the midfield, with Simon Becher, João Klauss, and Marcel Hartel at the front.
The match took place at Toyota Stadium and was officiated by referee Marcos de Oliveira.
Looking ahead, FC Dallas will face New York City FC in their next match, while St. Louis City will welcome Minnesota United.
