Loons score late to snag a road point in season opener at Austin FC
Minnesota United battled back with a 90th minute equalizer to draw 2-2 with Austin FC on Saturday at Q2 Stadium in Austin, Texas.
Kelvin Yeboah scored on a header at the back post to snag a road point in the Loons’ season opener. Devin Padelford, back from last year’s loan at St. Louis City, provided the assist on a lofted cross.
Minnesota was staring at a loss to being the season after Austin right back Jon Gallagher got enough space against the left side of the Loons defense to score at the back post in the 78th minute. Robert Taylor provided the cross to set up the 2-1 lead.
The Loons and Austin exchanged goals off corner kicks in the opening 45 minutes. Brendan Hines-Ike scored in the seventh minute for Austin, while Morris Duggan equalized with a header of his own in the 40th minute. It was Duggan’s first MLS goal after playing 1,360 minutes since 2024.
Austin goalkeeper Brad Stuver was forced to make two saves near the end of the half. One on Tomas Chancalay’s long-range curler in the 40th minute and Yeboah’s rip from near the penalty spot in the 46th.
