All 4 of SJ’s non-PK goals vs. Austin came from players they’ve acquired out of college. (San Jose is starting an average of 8 Americans each match during this run and average seven local products/draftees in the lineup.) Brad Stuver totaled 11 saves on the night. GK Daniel has totaled 22 saves in San Jose’s 8-1 start. Austin’s last 4 goals have come from newcomers. (Rosales’s only goal in 2025 was also vs. San Jose.) Jorge Alastuey became the first short-term loan player from ATXFCII to get a first-team start. Homegrown Micah Burton made his first MLS appearance. Wednesday was also Ervin Torres’s first MLS appearance since signing a first-team HG contract this offseason (third career MLS appearance). Austin’s Decision Day match at San Jose was the only 2025 loss in which Austin scored first. Austin has already suffered that fate twice in 2026 with the losses at RSL and San Jose Wednesday. Austin FC has won only 1 match the last 2 seasons without Dani Pereira (2025 @ SKC). Brendan Hines-Ike was Austin’s leading goal-scorer for 49 days. We are now in the Jon Bell era (5+ days). Before Christian Ramirez’s goal at Toronto, the last Austin FC player to score multiple times as a reserve in a season was Will Bruin with two in 2023. Austin only got three total goals from subs in 2025. It has already matched that total. Austin has scored first in 6 of its 9 matches, but is 1-2-3t in those matches. Austin scored first in 5 of its first 9 matches in 2025, going 5-0-0t in those matches (and 12-1-2t for the entire 2025 season). Having yet to hold a two-goal advantage, it has conceded eight equalizers. Austin conceded five total in 2025. Austin has seven points through nine matches. In 6 of those 9 matches, Austin has conceded a goal(s) after the 80th minute, costing Austin an additional seven points in the standings. In its 6 seasons, Austin has only lost 6 times total when scoring at least 2 goals. (0-0-3t in 2026.) Austin has yet to win a match in 2026 when conceding a goal.
Belief in the American Player- It's only fitting that the mast decorated coach in American soccer history has put together a team that leads the league in domestic players. No team in ML5 has averaged more American players in the starting 11 more in 2026 than Bruce Arena's Earthquakes (7.9), with an average of 7.3 Quakes Homegrown Players, local signings and SuperDraft picks comblned in the starting 11.

Dani Pereira could return Saturday. Austin is 0-1-2t this year without Dani. The team only won once in 2025 when he was unavailable (at SKC). Austin has surrendered five leads in its first six matches of 2026, equaling last year's season total (5 equalizers conceded in 2025). Glass half full… Austin has had six leads, and the only team to score first vs. Austin was Charlotte playing 11v10 after an early red card. Austin only lost one match in 2025 when it scored first (Decision Day at San Jose). It matched that total with the loss at RSL. Austin only got 3 goals from subs in 2025. It has two already in 2026. But opponents are also finding goals, scoring three after the 81st minute, costing Austin five points.
