Osman Bukari did well on his debut for Austin FC - Head Coach Josh Wolff

Published on: 22 July 2024

Austin FC coach Josh Wolff says Ghana winger Osman Bukari performed well on jhis debut for the club on his debut in the Major League Soccer on Sunday dawn.

Bukari, who started the match and played 58 minutes, made his first appearance for Austin in their 2-2 draw against Charlotte FC, having recently joined from Red Star Belgrade in Serbia this summer.

Speaking in a post-game press conference, Wolff highlighted Bukari's contribution despite not having had a preseason with the team.

“I think Buka (Osman Bukari), again, has some qualities that are going to unbalance. I think right away he gave some change of speed, he certainly got around the corner a couple of times and I think Gyasi (Zardes) is on the end of it, if he takes it well, it’s a fantastic start to the game but all in all I though he did well.

“I think the more he gets familiar with the group and the more the group gets familiar with him and kind of his unique qualities, the better it will be.”

Bukari is in line to feature in Austin’s next game on July 27 in the Leagues Cup.
