Seattle Sounders FC Secure 2-1 Win Over FC Dallas, Extend Home Unbeaten Streak to 20 Matches and Climb to Fourth in Western Conference

Seattle Sounders FC secured a 2-1 home victory over FC Dallas on Saturday evening, April 26, 2026, at Lumen Field, extending their unbeaten streak in league play to six matches and moving up to fourth place in the Western Conference standings.

Jesús Ferreira and Jordan Morris each scored their first goals of the 2026 season for the Sounders, with Ferreira finding the net in the 15th minute and Morris following in the 30th minute. The win improved Seattle’s record to 6-1-1 with 19 points, while FC Dallas fell to 3-3-4 with 13 points.

Ferreira’s goal marked his first tally of the season across all competitions and his first-ever goal against FC Dallas, his former club where he played from 2017 to 2024 after coming up through their academy system. Morris’ goal was his 92nd in all competitions for Seattle, setting a new club record for career goals.

The attacking play was supported by multiple contributors: Snyder Brunell and Hassani Dotson recorded assists on Morris’ goal, each earning their first assists of the season, while Jackson Ragen provided an assist on Ferreira’s goal, marking his first helper of the year.

Defensively, the Sounders maintained a strong home record against FC Dallas, improving their unbeaten streak at Lumen Field against the Texas side to 22 matches, with their only loss in that span dating back to May 25, 2011. The victory extended Seattle’s overall home unbeaten streak in all competitions to 20 matches, the longest in club history, with their last home loss occurring on June 23, 2025.

The match marked the 48th meeting between Seattle and FC Dallas in MLS regular season and playoff history, tying the LA Galaxy for the most frequent opponent in league history for the Sounders.

Head coach Brian Schmetzer rotated the lineup from the previous weekend’s match against St. Louis City SC, though specific changes were not detailed in the available reports. The team prepares for an upcoming road trip to face Sporting Kansas City on Saturday, May 2, 2026, with kickoff scheduled for 11:30 a.m. PT.

The result keeps Seattle in contention for a playoff position as they continue to build momentum early in the 2026 MLS season, combining defensive resilience at home with timely contributions from key attackers.
