Austin FC defeated New York Red Bulls 2-1 behind goals from Guilherme Biro and Brandon Vazquez on Saturday night at Q2 Stadium, earning the team’s second consecutive win. The match attendance of 20,738 marked the 80th consecutive MLS home sellout for Austin FC, extending the league’s longest active streak.
Austin scored early for the second week in a row, taking the lead in the 6th minute just as it did last time out against Colorado. Owen Wolff’s initial corner kick was headed back out to him and he played the ball back into the box without hesitation. Biro rose highest to head it in.
The visitors tied the game in the 23rd minute when an unlucky deflection off Vazquez found its way into the net for an own goal.
Vazquez scored the winner at the right end of the field on the other side of halftime. Osman Bukari beat his defender on the right flank and found Vazquez with a low cross to the near post, which the striker expertly put away for his team-high eighth goal of the season in all competitions.
The win moves Austin to within four (4) points of fourth place in the MLS Western Conference entering a league-wide break next week.
