FC Dallas won the inaugural Rio Grande Plate in 2006, winning 5-4 on penalty kicks in Monterrey after tying on aggregate 2-2, with each team winning their home game 2-0. Tigres won the Plate in 2007, winning the series 3-0 on aggregate after claiming a 2-0 win in Mexico on July 7 and winning 1-0 in Frisco four days later.
This will be FCD's sixth international friendly of the year, and fourth against a team from Mexico's top league. Following February's 2-1 loss at Tigres, FCD then defeated Brazilian-side Atletico Paranaense twice in March, winning 2-0 at Kyocera Arena in Curitiba, Brazil and then 2-1 at Pizza Hut Park. FCD has also hosted Mexico's Chivas Guadalajara (L 2-1) on June 29 and Club America (W 2-1) on Sept. 7.
