AustinFC completed the season sweep of its in-state rival Houston Dynamo Tuesday night in an enthralling 3-1 victory at Q2 Stadium.
“Absolutely fantastic hit,” Austin coach Josh Wolff said. “We needed that. It kind of got us going, brought us into the game a little bit more.”
The Oaks took a 1-1 scoreline and decisive edge in shots and possession into the locker room at halftime, but were far from satisfied. “It was quiet. Nobody said nothing. ’Cause we knew already like, okay, this is not good enough. We don't have to scream at each other… we just look at each other and say, this is not good enough,” defender Ruben Gabrielsen said.
Sure enough, Austin FC elevated its level of play significantly in the second half and found the go-ahead goal in the 57th minute. Once again, Driussi’s skill and tenacity at the top of the box opened things up, and the Argentine star fed countryman Maxi Urruti with a pinpoint pass to the left of the goal. But Urruti still had the difficult task of curling the ball past Clark from a tight angle, which he did to perfection into the side netting.
The Dynamo never seriously threatened Stuver’s goal until after Austin FC effectively killed the game off in the 70th minute with a goal straight out of Wolff’s fantasies. Originating from the feet of Stuver, the Oaks strung together five smart passes to carve up the Dynamo defense and find Ethan Finlay wide open on the right wing. Finlay then swung a perfect cross into the box where Ring applied the finishing header. World-class stuff.
