MLS: Ghana winger Osman Bukari scores and assists to propel Austin FC to away win

Osman Bukari was in fine form for Austin FC on Saturday evening in their thrilling 4-2 away win over DC United on Saturday in action from Major League Soccer.

Austin FC manager Nico Estevez selected the 26-year-old in his starting line up for the fourth consecutive match. The visitors shot their noses in front through the effort of Myrto Uzuni who slotted in from a pass by Brendan Hines-Ike outside the penalty area.

Bukari came up with a superb moment to earn a secondary assist close to halftime, weaving his way into DC United goal area before setting up Mikkel Desler who sent in a chip for Owen Wolff to head home Austin’s second goal just on the stroke of half time.

DC United came back into the game in the 48th minutes when Joao Peglow cut in perfectly to slice in his first goal to peg the game at 2-1.

Austin FC began a perfect attack from the back before a pinpoint pass down the wings from Daniel Pereira spotted Osman Bukari to tap in their third in the 60th minute.

There were two quick goals in added time with Robert Taylor adding Austin FC’s fourth with a 92nd minute strike and Christian Benteke finding a second consolation for DC United with a penalty kick in the 97th minute.

Bukari has produced 3 goals and 6 assists this season from 26 games in all competitions for Austin FC.
