Player to watch – Kai Wagner
Kai Wagner has been a star performer for Dallas this season and the German defender solidified his cult hero status with an injury-time winning goal for Union against Toronto in midweek.

Wagner is Union’s driving force
Wagner has already chipped in with a goal and six assists in 14 MLS appearances from left back for Philadelphia Union this season and the 28-year-old, who has been averaging 2.60 key passes per game, could have the tools to unlock the Dallas defence on Sunday.
