North Texas SC snatched a 1-0 win over San Jose Earthquakes II despite being outplayed for much of the match. The visitors had just 37% possession and managed only one shot on target, but that was enough to take all three points.
The only goal arrived in the 71st minute when Enzo Newman struck for North Texas, making it 0-1. San Jose had dominated proceedings with 63% possession and 20 total shots, but they failed to find the net. The home side also hit the target six times, only to be denied by six saves from the North Texas goalkeeper.
Newman's finish proved decisive in a game where San Jose racked up 2.26 xG to North Texas' 1.75 but couldn't convert. The match also saw five yellow cards, with Niklas Dossmann, Edwyn Mendoza, Jacob Heisner, Ricky Louis, and Leandro Gonçalves all booked.
