Vancouver Whitecaps Aim to Extend Perfect Start Against FC Dallas

The Whitecaps, undefeated in MLS and advancing in the CONCACAF Champions Cup, face Dallas without key players due to injuries.

The Vancouver Whitecaps have started the 2025 MLS season with three consecutive wins, outscoring opponents 8-2, and are tied for the league's best record with the Philadelphia Union.
Vancouver advanced to the CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinals after a 2-2 draw against Monterrey, progressing on away goals in a 3-3 aggregate result.
Key players, including captain Ryan Gauld, forward Emmanuel Sabbi, and defender Sam Adekugbe, are unavailable due to injuries ahead of their match against FC Dallas.
FC Dallas, with a 1-1-1 record, is coming off a 3-1 home loss to the Chicago Fire, despite an early lead, and coach Eric Quill has taken responsibility for the defeat.
Vancouver leads MLS in expected goals, shots, and corners after three weeks, while Dallas poses a challenge with top scorer Luciano Acosta, who has three goals this season.
