The False Nine Predicts: Austin FC vs. El Paso Locomotive

Posted on May 7, 2025May 7, 2025 by Charles Peacock

Tonight Austin FC start their US Open Cup campaign, entering at the round of 32 and taking on the El Paso Locomotive.

Austin FC has had a brief US Open Cup history (four total matches) and it has one very clear highlight: the only USOC game Austin won.

For those of you unaware, this win was due to one very important player, some would even say the most important player as he was our first player:

Oh wait, wrong picture…

Still not it…

There it is, Lord Rodney Redes, who scored some might say the best goal ever scored at Q2, or at least the most important in Austin FC US Open Cup History.
