Austin FC will work to keep their focus on the challenge at hand and not look ahead when they visit rival FC Dallas on Saturday in Frisco, Texas.

The Verde and Black will play in the semifinals of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup at Minnesota United on Wednesday, but first comes their Copa Tejas match.

Austin FC (11-9-8, 41 points) head north up I-35 after a 2-1 road win over Sporting Kansas City on Sunday as CJ Fodrey produced the winning goal in the 82nd minute.

Owen Wolff assisted on Fodrey's strike after scoring himself in the 37th. Wolff leads Austin in goal contributions with 12 in MLS play this season, while Fodrey's goal was his first.

With a Verde roster depleted by injuries and national team commitments, Fodrey made the most of his opportunity to finally add to the scoresheet.
