The Aztex continued their impressive winning form in Miami last night, giving Miami FC their first defeat of the season. The win gives them 17 points from 8 games, and a little more cushion at the top of the table.

    The Aztex (5-1-2) took full advantage of the opportunities they were given in the first half and were able to come up with three goals. Three goals is quite an impressive tally to have against a Miami (1-1-5) team, who had not given up more than one goal in a game all season.

    The Aztex added another goal in the 27th minute after a cross in the goal box was accidentally deflected by Kyle Veris into the back of the net to put Miami FC behind 2-0.

    The Blues broke through late in the half as Paulo Araujo Jr. broke free after receiving a nice feed from Abe Thompson, putting a shot past Austin goalkeeper Miguel Gallardo to cut the lead in half in the 39th minute for his fourth goal of the season.

    Less than 40 seconds later, the Aztex were right back on the attack and Eddie Johnson scored a goal after fielding a rebound on a shot that bounced off Patterson who was left out of position.

The Aztex continue their road trip this weekend, when they visit Crystal Palace Baltimore at 6:00 PM CT Saturday night.
