Two teams riding extended unbeaten strings meet Wednesday night when Minnesota United visit FC Dallas in Frisco, Texas.
Coming off a 2-0 win Saturday night over the Portland Timbers, Minnesota (4-2-2, 14 points) is 3-0-1 over its last four matches. Its three straight wins constitute its longest winning streak in nearly two calendar years.
Meanwhile, Dallas (3-1-4, 13 points) is 2-0-3 in its last five fixtures, including a 2-2 draw Saturday night with the Los Angeles Galaxy. It could have been a three-point result but Kaick's goal in the 75th minute was flagged for an offsides violation.
Minnesota has hit its stride in part because of the recent form of midfielder Tomas Chancalay. The Argentinian has hit the scoresheet in three straight matches, scoring a goal and assisting on the other goal against Portland.
Chancalay has looked a lot like the guy who the New England Revolution spent $3.1 million for three years ago instead of the player they traded to Minnesota after last season for $100,000.
'I am really happy here,' Chancalay said of his new organization. 'The team put their confidence in me here in Minnesota. I'm happy to stay here and I want to help the team.'
While Chancalay is playing well, no one in MLS these days is scoring like Dallas' Petar Musa. His brace in the first half gave Dallas a 2-0 lead but its defense gassed it by conceding twice before halftime.
Musa leads the league with nine goals, two more than Inter Miami's Lionel Messi and Nashville SC's Sam Surridge. But Dallas' inability to see a two-goal advantage through over the final 52 minutes was concerning to coach Eric Quill.
'Your mentality has to be disciplined, together and committed on every play,' Quill said. 'It was little details that changed the game and we know those moments can't happen. We need to improve our discipline because I think we're going to have leads often.'
It marked the second time in this recent unbeaten stretch that Dallas has coughed up a two-goal advantage.
