"Capitalizing on a pair of San Jose mistakes, Austin FC leapfrogged the Earthquakes in the MLS standings with a 3-1 win at Q2 Stadium Saturday night, just its second win at home over the past four months. San Jose coach Bruce Arena bemoaned giveaways that led to a goal by Austin's Myrto Uzuni in the 33rd minute and an own goal by the Earthquakes in the 77th minute."
"San Jose (9-12-8, 35 points) fell into ninth place in the Western Conference, the last playoff position, with just five games remaining in the regular season. The loss was the Quakes' fourth in six matches and dropped them to just 2-5-3 over their last 10 games. The second and third goals are disgraceful. That has to be on me as the coach of this team. Give Austin credit, they capitalize on those mistakes."
Austin FC defeated the San Jose Earthquakes 3-1 at Q2 Stadium, taking advantage of San Jose giveaways. Osman Bukari opened the scoring in the 12th minute on a through ball from Owen Wolff.

The win ended Austin's three-match winless streak and moved Austin into eighth place with 38 points. San Jose dropped to ninth with 35 points and has five regular-season games remaining, having lost four of its last six matches.
