May 3, 2025; Austin, Texas, USA; Minnesota United defender Anthony Markanich (13) celebrates a goal against Austin FC during the first half at Q2 Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Dustin Safranek-Imagn Images Joaquin Pereyra scored one goal and assisted on another as Minnesota United rolled to a 3-0 win over host Austin FC on Saturday in a Western Conference match.
The Loons (5-2-4, 19 points) won for the first time since April 6 but earned points for the third time in four matches. Minnesota is unbeaten in nine of its past 10 outings and rebounded from a 3-1 loss at home to West-leading Vancouver on April 27.
Minnesota goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair stopped four shots for his sixth clean sheet of the year.
Austin (5-5-1, 16 points) dropped its second straight match without finding the net and was held without a goal for the fifth time this season. Ten games into the season, the Verde have just seven goals, have scored more than one goal in a match just once and carry a goal differential of minus-6, next to last in the West.
The Verde was the aggressor early on. Osman Bukari had an excellent scoring chance in the 14th minute that was batted away by St. Clair. But the rebound rolled right to Austin’s Owen Wolff, who was then also denied in the goalmouth.
Pereyra turned the tables on Austin in the 22nd minute, charging into the offensive zone and ripping a shot off the foot of Verde midfielder Ilie Sanchez that spun through the legs of keeper Brad Stuver and into the net. The score was credited as an own goal to Sanchez and gave Minnesota a 1-0 lead.
The Loons added to their advantage in the 35th minute when Anthony Markanich used his head at the center of the box to turn around a pass from Jefferson Diaz and beat Stuver to the bottom right corner.
Pereyra had another chance in the waning moments of the first half, hitting a left-footed shot from just outside the center of the box that Stuver was able to corral.
Austin tried to counter in the second half but managed only a shot on target by Robert Taylor that was blocked by Loons defender Jefferson Diaz.
That set the stage for Pereyra’s goal, which came with a clinical left-footer from outside the box in the first minute of stoppage time that put a bow on the win.

College Football QB Power Rankings: Arch Manning falls from top 50, TCU’s Josh Hoover ascends to No. 1 spot
The top two signal-callers from the much-maligned quarterback class of 2023 stumbled out of the gate Saturday, as Texas' Arch Manning and UCLA's Nico Iamaleava both struggled in Week 1 losses. Their poor showings led to a major shakeup in this week's quarterback power rankings.Manning's performance in Texas' 14-7 loss at Ohio State was particularly jarring. The former No. 1 overall prospect didn't complete a pass of more than nine yards until the fourth quarter. Iamaleava wasn't much better in his UCLA debut, hitting just 11 of 22 passes for 136 yards in a 43-10 loss at Utah.Both Manning and Iamaleava dropped out of the top 50 altogether. The biggest risers were Florida State's Tommy Castellanos and Auburn's Jackson Arnold, who used their legs to vault into the top 10 with impressive debuts for new teams.These rankings are not a […]
Fantasy football rankings 2025: Sleepers, top picks from NFL model that nailed James Cook’s big season
The 49ers are looking to be the latest team to complete the last-to-first transformation in their division, which has been done in four of the last five seasons, and if San Francisco can accomplish that, there's a good chance they'll have some players outperforming their ADP in 2025 Fantasy football drafts. One of the benefits of coming in last place is an easier schedule the following year, so can 49ers like Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle finish toward the very top of their positions in Fantasy points.The 49ers already have additional injuries early in training camp, on top of Brandon Aiyuk, who will miss at least the first few weeks of the season following his knee injury last year. Aiyuk's early-season absence drops him in 2025 Fantasy football rankings, but he's still someone to be drafted, and he […]

Bill Belichick’s UNC Debut Exposed Flaws — But It’s Too Soon to Panic
Bill Belichick's debut as North Carolina's head coach might have been the worst game of his head coaching career.The 48 points UNC gave up to TCU on Monday night were more than any Belichick-coached team gave up in any game during his 29 seasons as an NFL head coach. The 48-14 final was also tied for the second-largest margin of defeat in Belichick's head coaching career. After Belichick's Tar Heels committed a multitude of errors that allowed the Horned Frogs to score 41 straight points in Monday's game, FOX Sports lead college football analyst Joel Klatt admitted that he's a bit concerned about UNC. However, he has some hope that the six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach can work some of his magic, while getting some scheduling luck, to right the ship in Chapel Hill. "Am I worried about North Carolina? Yeah, a […]
