Can FC Dallas<\/a> turn into the Cinderella story of Leagues Cup<\/a> 2026?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

They made their latest case on Saturday night, stunning historic LIGA MX side Chivas de Guadalajara, 1-0<\/a>, at PayPal Park behind Logan Farrington<\/a>\u2019s 73rd-minute strike.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The milestone result made it two straight wins in the tournament, greatly boosting their chances of reaching the knockout stages.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cResults like this give FC Dallas immense pride, our fanbase pride. And also respect,\u201d head coach Eric Quill told reporters post-match. \u201cWe\u2019re not a finished version of ourselves; we want to keep growing and getting better.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBut a win like this against a historic club like Chivas is something that we\u2019re gonna take a lot of pride in, and hopefully it gives us belief.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Two wins in two games\u00a0<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

Belief has grown for Dallas with each Leagues Cup performance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Before Saturday\u2019s upset, the Texas club topped Quer\u00e9taro, 2-0<\/a>, in their Phase One opener.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dallas are one of just two MLS sides that haven\u2019t conceded a goal after at least two Phase One games, along with Charlotte FC<\/a>, thanks to two straight clean sheets from goalkeeper Jonathan Sirois<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s amazing. Our club is celebrating tonight. It\u2019s a massive win, a historic club in Chivas,\u201d said Quill.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve [Chivas] been a powerhouse for decades. And that can be overwhelming to a team like ours. And it wasn\u2019t tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Toluca trip on tap<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

As impressive as FC Dallas have been thus far, their toughest test awaits in Wednesday\u2019s Phase One finale at the mighty Toluca (10 pm ET | Apple TV<\/a>).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another historic result at Estadio Nemesio D\u00edez would all but secure passage to the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n

“We’re about to go to Toluca, so we’re gonna be in a similar environment [as Saturday night]. Obviously, not the altitude,” said Quill.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“But it was a good exercise to take on, given what’s coming to us in a few days.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
