USL - Impact Looking to Start Winning Streak Against Austin Aztex

“There’s no doubt that our last victory gave confidence to all players,” noted veteran defender Nevio Pizzolitto. “We feel that everybody is happier. It would be great to bring in this positive energy to our next match. We nevertheless remain cautious because we know that we will not win all our matches by scoring four goals.”
Coach Marc Dos Santos stresses the importance of keeping it relative. “We need to forget the recent matches, both the good and bad ones, and be ready for a tough battle in Austin. We will try to confirm what we started Wednesday against Cleveland. We tackle one match at a time. Our destiny is in our own hands. ”
The Impact made the trip without some of their regular starters. Defender Stefano Pesoli and midfielder Félix Brillant are nursing light knee injuries and Midfielder Rocco Placentino will also miss the game due to a thigh injury he suffered during the last match against Cleveland.
