FC Dallas goalkeeper Jacob Jackson was voted the Major League Soccer Player of the Matchday for Matchday 32 of the 2025 MLS season. His save total was also revised by MLS to 12, thus tying the FC Dallas franchise single-game saves record (Mark Dodd 9/19/98 at KC).
Only Matt Napoleon (12 for Miami Fusion on August 23, 1998, also vs KC) has produced 12 saves in their first appearance with a team.
Jackson is the fifth FC Dallas goalkeeper to receive Player of the Matchday and the second goalkeeper to win this honor this season in Major League Soccer.
