Austin FC defeated D.C. United 1-0 on Sunday afternoon at Q2 Stadium, courtesy of a late goal by Christian Ramirez. Ramirez, whom the Club acquired on Friday, scored just 14 minutes into his ATXFC debut and became the second player in team history to score on their debut.

Austin was the better of the two (2) teams throughout the match, holding significant advantages over the visitors in shots, shots on target, expected goals, possession, and total passes. Facundo Torres nearly found the net with a strike from distance in the 57^th minute, which D.C. goalkeeper Sean Johnson only kept out with a fingertip save.

The Verde & Black were finally rewarded for their efforts when Ramirez headed in a rebound from close range in the 82^nd minute, earning Austin its first victory of the new season. ATXFC improved to 4-0-0 all-time against D.C. United.
