Dallas Turns to GK Michael Collodi for Season Opener

FC Dallas starts its season with Michael Collodi as its new goalie. Collodi earned his shot when last year's starter, Maarten Paes, left for Ajax.

What's at stake for Dallas?

The team hopes to improve on a weak 6-8-3 home record. Offensively, Dallas will rely on Petar Musa, who scored 18 goals last year.

How did Collodi perform last year?

Collodi played well when an injury sidelined Paes, logging three clean sheets and conceding just eight goals in nine matches.

What's the outlook for Toronto FC?

Toronto is looking to bounce back from a rough 2025 season, having acquired star midfielder Djordje Mihailovic and Walker Zimmerman to shore up its defense. Zimmerman hopes to help Toronto make the playoffs for the first time since 2020.
