Austin FC fell in a 2-1 defeat to Real Salt Lake on Wednesday night at Q2 Stadium.
Both teams had several chances during the first half. Myrto Uzuni nearly found the opener in the early moments of the match, and RSL hit the crossbar later on.
Jorge Alastuey then scored his first career MLS goal in spectacular fashion to give ATXFC the lead in the 52nd minute. He took a touch to settle a clearance before hitting an accurate left-footed strike to the bottom corner from 25 yards out. But RSL equalized only three minutes later with a curled effort by Saba Lobjanidze.
The visitors took the lead in the 61st minute when Sergi Solans set up Morgan Guilavogui, a goal which held up as the match winner.
