“Joseph Yeramid Rosales Erazo opens the scoring after Myrto Uzuni picks him out to give Austin the lead.”
Pivotal“Jon Gallagher doubles Austin's lead in first-half stoppage time, finishing from a corner to make it 2-0 and effectively end Tijuana as a contest before the break.”
Pivotal“Jesus Vega pulls one back for Tijuana to make it 2-1, briefly raising the prospect of a nervy finish for Austin.”

Austin controlled this Leagues Cup tie from the opening exchanges, converting their territorial dominance into a two-goal cushion before the break. Rosales struck at 16 minutes after Myrto Uzuni threaded the assist, and Jon Gallagher added a second in first-half stoppage time from a corner routine, giving Austin a flattering but deserved lead at the interval. The statistics tell the story of a side that did the hard work early — 58% possession, 90% pass accuracy across 399 passes, and four shots on target against Tijuana's two — while remaining defensively compact and largely untroubled. Tijuana struggled to convert their 16 shots into genuine danger, missing their one big chance of the match, and any hopes of a comeback were extinguished when Iván Tona was dismissed for an argument at 70 minutes, leaving the visitors to chase the game with ten men. Jesus Vega's late goal was a consolation in every sense, arriving too late and with too little to genuinely threaten Austin's hold on the match.
