Austin FC claimed a 2-1 away victory over LA Galaxy on Wednesday night, fueled by a goal and an assist from forward Myrto Uzuni.
Austin grabbed the lead late in the first half. The team quickly dissected the Galaxy defense with two (2) direct forward passes to find Uzuni, who controlled the ball well at the edge of the area and unleashed an accurate strike to the bottom left corner.
Uzuni then created Austin’s second goal. The Albanian international pressed Galaxy goalkeeper Novak Mićović and forced an error. The loose ball fell to Owen Wolff who beat a defender before finishing into the open net, ensuring that a stoppage time penalty kick by LA’s Joseph Paintsil was irrelevant to the outcome.
The victory improves ATXFC’s record to 3-1-1 in its last five (5) league matches, a stretch which also includes a penalty shootout win in the U.S. Open Cup Quarterfinals.
