Vlad Dănciuțiu found the net for the second game in a row as well, with the Verde & Black improving to 5-2-1 in their last eight matches.
ATXFC II now prepare for their third meeting with North Texas SC this season. During the team’s last matchup, Austin FC II took all three points with goals from Alastuey and Micah Burton.
The points are tight for both teams in the MLS NEXT Pro Western Conference standings, with Austin FC II in fifth and North Texas in sixth. The Verde & Black will hope to distance themselves from NTXSC and the chasing pack with another win.
North Texas SC Outlook
North Texas SC lost 4-1 against Colorado Rapids 2 at home. The teams faired closely in total shots with NTXSC’s lone goal coming from team captain Sam Sarver, his 15th of the season. North Texas SC had previously not played an MLS NEXT Pro match since July 18th, taking an intermission to compete in the 2025 MLS NEXT Pro Invitational against Club Deportivo Tapatío which North Texas SC won 3-1.
Head coach John Gall leads the team into their 20th match of the season. With eight wins and eight losses this season North Texas sits just below Austin FC II who have seven wins and five losses.
The derby matchup offers high stakes for both teams in the second half of the season as they each fight to stay above the playoff line.
