Austin FC and Minnesota United shared the points at Q2 Stadium on Sunday, 22 February 2026, in a game that finished 2-2. The hosts edged the ball share at 57 percent but couldn't turn that control into a winning margin, with the scores level at 1-1 by half-time after both sides found the net early. Minnesota, for their part, looked dangerous on the counter and matched Austin shot for shot in a game that never really settled either way. Shots told a similar story of balance, with Minnesota just ahead 11-10 despite Austin having the sharper end product, six shots on target to four. Corners went 8-7 in the visitors' favor too, small margins that summed up an evening where neither team could find that extra edge. For Austin, it's another home game where they let a lead slip, while Minnesota will be pleased to leave Texas with a point after twice needing to come from behind.
