Ghanaian speedster Osman Bukari has his eyes on silverware after propelling Austin FC to the US Open Cup final with a dazzling display against Minnesota United.
The Black Stars winger broke the deadlock with a brilliant first-half strike, nutmegging his marker before calmly slotting home from Owen Wolff’s incisive pass. His effort set the tone for a dramatic 2-1 triumph on Wednesday night in Saint Paul.

Minnesota clawed their way back into the contest shortly after the interval through Joaquin Pareyra, sparking fears of extra time. But Austin’s persistence paid off late on when substitute Calvin Fodrey struck in stoppage time, sealing the Texans’ spot in the October 1 final against Nashville SC.
An elated Bukari took to social media after the victory, writing: “Finals bound, kudos to the boys for this one. Now onto the next Alhamdullilah for everything!”
For Bukari, the goal continued what has been a productive debut campaign in the United States, where he has tallied four goals and four assists in all competitions.
