FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Fort Lauderdale United FC (1-0-2, 5 PTS) is set to host Dallas Trinity FC (3-0-0, 9 PTS) at Beyond Bancard Field on Saturday evening in a clash of the Super League's top two teams in the standings. The clubs met four times during the 2024/25 season, with Fort Lauderdale claiming the series on the strength of two home victories. Both sides reached the playoffs in the inaugural campaign, and with kickoff set for 7:30 p.m., Saturday's meeting shapes up as one of the league's most anticipated early-season matchups.

Fort Lauderdale United FC enters Saturday's matchup riding momentum from a strong, unbeaten start that includes an impressive road win at Spokane. The club leads the league in goals scored (6) and has done it by committee, with forward Kiara Locklear and defender Ella Simpson each finding the net twice. In midfield, new addition Stella Nyamekye impressed in her starting debut alongside the creative Kat González and the energetic Kelli Van Treeck, though every-match starter Taylor Smith will miss this week's game after receiving a red card last weekend. Between the posts, goalkeeper Bella Hara - who became the second-youngest player in Super League history to record a clean sheet - ranks second in the league with 10 saves and anchors the defense. With Fort Lauderdale catching fire, the club now welcomes the league's top-ranked squad.

Dallas Trinity FC enters Saturday's contest atop the Super League standings as the league's only perfect team through three matches. The club returns a quartet of All-League selections from last season, led by first-team honorees defender Amber Brooks and forward Allie Thornton, along with second-team standouts defender Hannah Davison and forward Chioma Ubogagu. Dallas has spread its scoring load early, with four different players finding the net, and is anchored defensively by goalkeeper Rylee Foster, who has recorded a league-high two clean sheets in three appearances, ranks second in saves (10) and has conceded a league-low one goal. Saturday's matchup will pit Fort Lauderdale's league-leading attack against Dallas's stingy back line in a true clash of strengths.
