FC DALLAS V PORTLAND TIMBERS
SET THE STAGE
HEAD-TO-HEAD RECORD FCD RECORD POR RECORD FCD vs. POR all-time FCD vs. POR Home
NEVER-SAY-DIE Dallas returns to Toyota Stadium after a frustrating 2-1 loss to reigning champions LAFC in California last Saturday. Despite the defeat, FCD’s performance reaffirmed that this team has a never-say-die attitude that could prove vital over a long season. Both Dallas’ wins this season have been comeback victories after conceding the opening goal. Nico Estévez’s
2-2-1 (7 points - 5th in West) 1-3-1 (4 points - 9th in West) 2-4-2 (9 goal scored, 14 goals conceded) 0-3-1 (2 goal scored, 8 goals conceded)
in his five cameos, he’s shown a willingness to push forward to supplement the attack. Take a look at his low cross for Jesús Ferreira that resulted in the winning goal against SKC in FCD’s last home game (clip below, Geovane Jesus is #2). First starts are rarely easy, but Jesus has the ability to add a new dimension to the right side of defense.

RIGHT BACK SWAP There will be a new starter at right back for the first time in 2023 this Saturday. Due to his red card in LA, Ema Twumasi is suspended the Portland game meaning his regular right back duties will be covered by someone else: likely Geovane Jesus. The 21-year-old joined Dallas during the offseason from his native Brazil and has made five substitute appearances so far this year. This time, though, he’ll probably be asked to play from the start. Jesus is incredibly athletically gifted and is dominant in the air. And
