Austin FC’s resounding away victory over DC United in Major League Soccer was led by Ghanaian winger Osman Bukari.
Austin won 4-2 at Audi Field on Saturday night, and Bukari‘s goal around the hour mark gave them a two-goal lead again. Myrto Uzuni broke the tie in the 22nd minute by finishing off a brilliant ball from Brendan Hines-Ike, giving the Verdes a strong start.
Austin’s second goal was added by Owen Wolff after a quick move by Mikkel Desler and Bukari just before halftime.
However, after the break, the hosts pulled one back through João Peglow but it did not last long as Bukari restored Austin FC’s two-goal lead.
The Ghanaian was replaced with 13 minutes remaining before Robert Taylor scored for the visitors in the 93rd minute.
Former Crystal Palace and Liverpool striker Christian Benteke scored a late penalty to halve the deficit in a dramatic end to an exciting thriller.
