Later that evening, FC Dallas continued to finish in fine form through the boot of Paxton Pomykal in the U18's match. 

Sunday afternoon, Reyes got the U-16s off to a hot start with a goal directly from a free kick. 



 Jesus Ferreira and Bryan Reynolds each added a goal to give the U-16s a 3-1 win and complete a perfect 3-0-0 weekend that including the team outscoring its opponents 10-1. 


For the U-18s, the team didn't complete it's own perfect weekend without a bit of flair. 


In Sunday evening's game against Orlando City SC, Brandon Terwege opened the scoring when he capitalized on a bobbled ball by the Orlando City goal keeper. 


After an Orlando City own goal, Giovanni Montesdeoca used a spectacular half-volley to make it 3-0.

Following that goal, Devin Vega went for goal off a free kick and spectacularly beat the goal keeper to the near post. 

In total, the FC Dallas academy system went 10-1-1 across all competitions, outscoring opponents 32-7. Between the two playoff teams, the U-16s and U-18s combined to outscore their opponents 22-3 in six total games.
