Austin FC fell 2-0 to the Vancouver Whitecaps in predictable fashion where the winning team simply wanted the three points more.
The most important result of the weekend for Austin FC came hours before the Verde and Black even arrived at BC Place in Vancouver for the final road game of the MLS regular season.
It was a must-win situation for Vancouver to keep its slim playoff hopes alive, which it did in front of an announced home crowd of 19,292. The numbers flatter the Verde and Black much more than the result: Austin FC held a 69%-31% possession edge and registered 13 shots to Vancouver’s 8. Ultimately, though, the match came down to Austin’s inability to finish off chances and Vancouver’s willingness to make the extra effort to cash in on theirs.
Throughout the match, the Oaks created a volume of chances that typically they would convert into at least one goal if not more. But a rare off night for Driussi in front of goal kept Austin FC off the scoresheet.
