Ghanaian forward Osman Bukari scored his first Major League Soccer (MLS) goal for Austin FC in a commanding 2-0 victory against Nashville SC on Saturday night.
In the Week 26 clash at Geodis Park, Austin FC secured a crucial win, bolstered by standout performances from their key players. The game began with Nashville SC earning an early penalty, but Austin’s goalkeeper Brad Stuver made a vital save, denying Hany Mukhtar’s spot-kick.
The breakthrough came in the 43rd minute when Jon Gallagher capitalized on a defensive lapse by Nashville, converting a precise cross from Alex Ring to give Austin the lead.
Bukari sealed the victory in the 83rd minute with a composed finish. After Nashville substitute Amar Sejdić lost possession, Bukari sprinted past goalkeeper Joe Willis, who had ventured nearly 40 yards from his goal, and calmly slotted the ball into the empty net.
