Austin FC News Release


Austin, TEXAS - Austin FC defeated LA Galaxy 1-0 on Saturday afternoon at Q2 Stadium, with Brandon Vazquez scoring the decisive goal in the 81st minute. The match attendance of 20,738 marked the 75thconsecutive MLS home sellout for Austin FC, extending the league's longest active streak.

Austin nearly opened the scoring in the seventh minute when a spectacular bicycle kick attempt by Myrto Uzuni went just over the crossbar. Big plays happened at both ends of the field in the final moments before halftime. Jon Gallagher made a timely intervention to deny LA's Joseph Paintsil, and Vazquez rolled a shot inches wide of the far post.

One of the game's best chances came at the penalty spot. Osman Bukari did well to earn Austin the opportunity but Galaxy goalkeeper John McCarthy denied Vazquez from 12 yards.

Vazquez had the last laugh though, finishing a low cross from Žan Kolmanič in the closing moments to secure three (3) points for the Verde & Black. The shutout was Austin's fifth of the 2025 season.
