Kolmanič's goal was set up at the other end when defender Jon Gallagher found a streaking Osman Bukari on the counterattack running the right sideline and put it on him in full stride.

Bukari centered a perfect cross between two immediate defenders and one marked on Myrto Uzuni who made a pair of touches then tapped it soft to his left for a streaking Kolmanič whose left-footed boot from the left side of the box found the bottom right corner past outstretched keeper Dayne St. Clair.

Minnesota (7-3-5) got on the board at 16 minutes when Michael Boxall scored on a header at the center of the box to his left.

Austin (5-6-2) hasn't lost since a 2-1 defeat against FC Cincinnati on May 10.
