Three Points on the Road
North Texas SC came away with all three points on the road in its last match, thanks to a stoppage-time goal from Malachi Molina in the third minute of added time. It was the latest goal scored by North Texas this season and came at the perfect time, heading into the first matchup of the year against Austin FC II. Gall’s side will be aiming to secure their first-ever win in the state capital on Friday night.
Antonio’s Prescence in Goal
In his season debut, goalkeeper Antonio Carrera delivered a man-of-the-match performance. He tied his career high with nine saves and picked up his first professional assist on the game-winning goal. Carrera will be between the posts again this weekend against Austin—a team he’s familiar with beating in the past.
Texas Rival
Austin FC II is led by third-year head coach Brett Uttley. Their last game ended in a 0-0 draw on the road against St. Louis CITY2, with Austin falling in the extra-point shootout. Defender Nicolas van Rajin is one of the most experienced players on the roster, currently leading the team in passes, minutes played, and clearances.
