Minnesota United FC hands Austin its fifth shutout this season with a 3-0 win
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) --- Anthony Markanich and Joaqun Pereyra each scored a goal
and Minnesota United FC took advantage of an own goal and beat Austin FC 3-0 on
Saturday.
Austin midfielder Ilie Snchez was credited with an own goal from left of the
box at 22 minutes for a 1-0 Minnesota (5-2-4) lead. His mild deflection off a
shot attempt by Pereyra created back spin on a ball that slowly rolled through
the hands and legs of keeper Brad Stuver.
Markanich scored 13 minutes later on a header from the center of the box for a
two-goal lead. Pereyra ended the scoring in the first minute of extra time in
the second half with a left-footed shot from the middle position outside the
box.
Austin has now been shut out five times in 11 games this season.
