Austin, TEXAS - Austin FC defeated San Jose Earthquakes 3-1 on Saturday night at Q2 Stadium, with Designated Players Osman Bukari and Myrto Uzuni both on the scoresheet. The win takes Austin above San Jose in the Western Conference table.

Austin began the match with energy and were rewarded when Bukari finished to the far post in the 12th minute. Nico Dubersarsky won the ball initially, and Owen Wolff drove forward before playing in Bukari with a perfectly weighted through ball.

Uzuni doubled the lead before halftime. This time, Bukari played the role of creator, running into open space on the right flank and playing the ball across the face of goal. It took a deflection into the path of Uzuni who tapped it in for his fourth goal in the last six (6) matches.

Daniel Munie pulled a goal back for the visitors in the 53rd minute, but it proved to be only a consolation as the Verde & Black re-established a two-goal cushion via an own goal in the closing stages.

ATXFC saw out the victory to move into seventh place, while still having one (1) or two (2) games in hand on all the teams around them in the standings.

Goal-Scoring Summary ATX (1-0) - Osman Bukari (assisted by Owen Wolff) 12' ATX (2-0) - Myrto Uzuni (unassisted) 33' SJ (2-1) - Daniel Munie (unassisted) 53' ATX (3-1) - Bruno Wilson (own goal) 77'
