Miami FC snapped its six-game losing streak Saturday night, beating the Austin Aztex 3-1. Miami's newest signings made an immediate impact. Midfielder Brain Shriver and Nelson Pizzaro assisted on two goals, while Aaron King scored his first goal with the Blues in his first start with the team.

Austin got on the scoreboard first in the 9th minute with a Jaime Watson goal. Kyle Brown cleverly left a through ball for Watson, who finished the one-on-one with goalie Pat Hannigan. Moments later, Leo Inacio Nunes tied the game for the Blues with a shot to the bottom left post. Two minutes later, Alan Marcina put the team up 2-1 when he took on two Austin defenders and put the ball in the same corner.

On the 53 minute, home-grown product Pizzaro passed a ball to King, who buried the shot, scoring the last goal of the game and sealing three points for the Blues.

Miami FC is currently in eighth place and eight points behind the Vancouver Whitecaps, who have played one more game than the Blues. Miami FC will play at Lockhart Stadium Tuesday, Sept. 8th at 8 p.m.
