Kaick

Analysis: Kaick paired a strong defensive effort with success in individual battles, capping it off with a through ball that set up Sam Sarver's winner in stoppage time of this game. Fresh off signing a deal that keeps him with Dallas through 2028/29, the central man notched his first assist and second direct contribution in the current campaign. He has now scored or assisted in two of his last three matches, complementing his steady defensive work that defines his role as a holding midfielder.

Signs contract extension

Kaick was signed to a contract extension with Dallas through the 2028/29 season, with options for the 2029/30 and 2030/31 campaigns, the team announced Thursday.

Analysis: Kaick has been a consistent midfield asset in the last couple of seasons, and the club has now strengthened its confidence on him with the extended deal. The 20-year-old will look to reach his full potential after scoring three goals over 42 MLS matches played, but he'll likely remain more reliable for defensive tasks as he looks to improve on his averages of 3.2 balls recovered and 1.1 tackles per game in the 2026 season.
