Collin Fernandez vs Pittsburgh Riverhounds
53 seconds. That's all the time it took midfielder Collin Fernandez to get The Bold in the lead against the Pittsburgh Riverhounds at Highmark Stadium. The goal wasn't just the game-winner of the night but also the fastest goal in Austin Bold FC history. The previous record was held by Ema Twumasi when he scored in the first 91 seconds against FC Tulsa (then the Tulsa Roughnecks) on August 17th, 2019, at Bold Stadium. The Bold would go on to win both matches. A lesson to be learned from this is scoring the first two minutes of the match is usually a pretty good strategy.
