On the strength of his hat trick, FC Dallas striker Petar Musa has been named MLS Player of the Matchday for “week” 21 of the 2024 season. Musa is the first European-born player to register a hat trick in club history.
Musa becomes the first FC Dallas player to win POTM since Jesus Ferreira on Matchday 4 of the 2022 MLS season when Ferreira had the last hat trick for the club.
Musa is the third different Dallas striker to take home the award since 2021, joining Ricardo Pepi (Matchdays 15 and 22 in 2021) and Ferreira.
