Austin FC stumbles on the road with loss to Colorado
AUSTIN (KXAN) – With two weeks to think about their 5-1 loss to Real Salt Lake, Austin FC suffered another defeat Saturday evening 2-0 to the Colorado Rapids at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.
While Austin controlled possession more than half the game, they did not have much success offensively. The visitors managed zero shots on goal with eight shot attempts overall.
Colorado struck first in the 22nd minute with a goal from Cole Bassett. The other goal for the Rapids came early in the second half courtesy of Rafael Navarro.
The loss is Austin’s third straight as they have slowed after a strong stretch from late April into May. With another match netting them zero points, Austin is now in eighth place in the Western Conference.
The Verde and Black will next be in action Wednesday evening at 7:30 p.m. as they’ll host LAFC at Q2 Stadium in Austin.
