St. Louis City and Dallas met in Major League Soccer's Regular Season round 22 on 30 August 2026, and the match ended 3-3 after a frantic finish. The result keeps both sides level on 34 points from 22 games, with St. Louis sitting sixth and Dallas fifth.
S. Becher opened the scoring for the hosts just three minutes in, and to be fair the visitors did not panic. S. Moore equalised for Dallas at 18 minutes before D. Edelman restored St. Louis' lead on 43. By then the tempo had already set the tone for the afternoon.
The second half brought fresh legs and a shift in momentum. Dallas made three substitutions on 59 minutes, bringing on A. Matan, H. Johansson and S. Moreno. C. Holse put St. Louis back ahead on 64, but the visitors responded immediately. S. Ibeagha scored for Dallas on 81, and the game was suddenly wide open again.
And here's the thing about matches like this — they are decided in the closing moments. J. Orozco came on for St. Louis on 88, and Dallas replaced P. Musa with Kaick on 89. Both sides threw everything forward. L. Farrington netted on 90+7 minutes to salvage a point for the hosts, and L. MacNaughton picked up a yellow card in the same period.
St. Louis controlled possession at 53 per cent and registered five shots on target from eight attempts, while Dallas were more clinical with seven on target from ten. The hosts generated 1.75 expected goals to Dallas's 0.79, yet the visitors hit harder when it mattered.
Neither side could separate themselves in the table. St. Louis remain sixth with nine wins, seven draws and six defeats, while Dallas sit fifth with the same record. The match ends a run of mixed form for both — St. Louis drew with Sporting Kansas City and Real Salt Lake in their last two, while Dallas lost heavily to Vancouver before beating Real Salt Lake 4-3.
