test meanwhile on the other side for Austin FC Brett ottley talking about the game coming in talking about this run that Portland's been on here it's been a very good one very consistent got a great win against Houston the other night they've been improving steadily and really added some players and that's been key for this Timbers two side the first game he felt that they had the game under control for the first part but really this Timber side really giving it to him their last 20 minutes really increased the intensity put them under pressure and they're gonna have to be able to watch for that here tonight Timbers two able to create opportunities in that last game but Damian loss of course with a big save to keep Timbers two off the score sheet awesome the purple shorts and pink top tonight about Damien loss just really a shot stopping ability has been huge his key to lead that backlines communication of very good thing he's just a rock back there for this team talk about how locked in he gets and games can go minutes without seeing a ball without getting a touch on the ball but just always in tune with the game what's coming at him made some big saves in the win against St Louis big save after big save really to help keep his team in throughout the season a nice little slip ball here and a chance for Austin dropped back for Pinot but he can't get his foot to it won't

return Ramirez plays it out wide now down the line Burton plays it back with the pressure talking with head coach Fred Utley about this three-game winning streak for all says this is played down the line a chance here for Noel Ramirez Burton talking about this three-game winning streak talked about how they came off a tough period after losing three in a row you see the highs and lows in the evolution of a team it's about how you bounce back and they've done that resiliency coming from behind to beat different teams seeing different challenges during that time frame moving these last three games they've tested in different ways each opponent bringing a different tactical elements it's really been great to see his players exposed to those elements and really adapting in a new way these two on familiarity playing earlier this season up in Portland with Austin getting the one to nil win we'll head over to the touch line and he'll back off and the 25 year old Joe hafferty will come over headed back Ferdinand Pope will send it towards Midfield and one up front though for Timbers foreign Ty here's two Ray look at from the Netherlands coach oh lee says he's a great personality really adapting to the team in the club great player good within without the ball he's experience been one of the keys that this Austin side has been relying on has gone up against some tough players on the wings and he'll have another good challenge here tonight against Josh Penn to see how he reacts Reno plays over to bang gives it back Weber into the circle Griffith will play it out instrumentally wants to dive a little bit further and see what else Shaq Turi can do here with experience though coming from overseas Craig will move up the field Pope trying to get by the hip right there of ascencio unable to do so this portion of the match is brought to you by Adidas the official partner of Austin too careless throw on that one Ferdinand giving the ball right back to Austin in the final third it's not on the same page as the player you intended that pass for was coming back to him and he played it down towards the end line instead communication there's some Kinks still to work out for the Timbers too the big change consistency in the lineup especially the back line really the same for both sides that's been a key piece halferty both teams patient with the ball not trying to force anything last thing you want is a careless error like we just saw on the throw get to see a shot on target for either side it's really been more of a game of possessing the ball at the moment see which team decides to be a little bit more creative here Ramirez playing near side Rodriguez has two Ray to his right back to Ramirez nice ball in a headed and this is gonna be covered up by billichuk that was a nice attempt there Noel Simeon across had a runner there and Sebastian Pino SNM by Ramirez headed over Pinot can get to that maybe can tap me on the goalkeeper Ryan Belichick Rodriguez has room to work with Rodriguez to his left foot after he says it was clean great chance for Rodriguez hit Steve Louise John on the outside completed over to the 18 year old tried to take it himself though take a look back at this replay Rodriguez doing a great job getting by Weber maybe one too many touches and then he hits the back leg of Bravo good no call right there by the referee beer the main man in charge doing a great job being in the right position to see that long ball headed back Belichick will be able to slow this down teams both times for these teams last Sunday lost back in May for Austin FC their loss loss coming May 28th on the road against Houston meanwhile for Timbers 2 their last loss May 25th at home against St Louis see what happens this evening as both these two teams Hope to come up with three points they win tonight for Austin they could be one point behind Colorado Rapids too as they Trail right now 2-0 Bravo plays it down the line nice little dummy with a ball there by pen but couldn't stay in play creeping up a little bit too far Noel back to two Ray that's fair old play it over to hafferty a little pressure there by monzon diagonal ball coming to The Far Side of the pitch Ramirez Burton see the patients here by Austin we're just going around the horn right now to both sides Rodriguez trying to get by Weber the cross and that's deflected and in for the opening goal for Austin FC Sebastian Pino puts Austin on the scoreboard first here in the 21st minute [Music] got his hand to that ball but unable make the save a nice ball in here by Rodriguez here the ball coming into Rodriguez gets by Weber creates enough space and then you see going right to the near post it's Pino and gets it through for the opening goal of the game for Austin [Music] first goal of the season for the man from Chile on the assist over that's just a smart run there by Pino going right to that near post on the diagonal run just putting his foot out and directing it in on the near post you know out of Santiago Chile can represent both Chilean Peru as his mom is from Peru he's played u-20 for both sides it's a lot of different dual citizens cross MLS next Pro it's always got to be a tough decision which country you ultimately want to represent second assist of the season for David Rodriguez now the question is for the Timbers too how do they respond should they try to get a quick one and get back into this [Music] Ramirez let's say for Timbers too a good thing was playing on Thursday night so getting used to the heat here in the State Texas that ball nearly reached David Rodriguez but right now talked about it before the game back line Austin doing a good job of stretching that line creating opportunities on the wings Toure will come over for the corner Austin will play it short to Ray back heel ball Noel back post and that will find its way out and let's see we will have a gold bill this is gonna stay for corner so this must have just nicked someone's head they're in the back road there you could see it yep does hit a Timber or two player and goes out of play to the opposite side of the field Austin looking for their second goal here in the span of three minutes once again going short Toure offset in no one there but clear as far as Stevie Saint Louis Jean headed in sent Away by Clegg Vang will play it out wide Noelle will track it down at the touchline though Ramirez [Music] Rodriguez Ramirez to the opposite side of the box Ferdinand wins position thank you Rodriguez into the center of the pitch this ball Stamped Out There by Victor Griffith giving right back though to Austin Jean will play it into the circle to Ray [Music] [Music] Ramirez Haverty nearly intercept it comes to the feet now Rodriguez and a throw coming this portion of the match is brought to you by Yeti the official partner of Austin fc2 you know Austin controlled the possession of this game and they're doing a majority of it the defensive half of Timbers too will play out wide here's the goal scorer Sebastian Pino 19 years old first goal the Verdean green black just dominating possession right now in this game see Timbers struggling to try to win the ball back Moreno does win the ball back let's see if Ferdinand and Company can set something up here offensively Chuck gives it right back to Austin Ramirez Griffith playing Ford monzon let's see if he can get going here manzan knocked over in the circle that will draw the whistle he's on a big boy out of Argentino he's the team in scoring with six goals last year for his club team in Argentina he had five goals in 33 appearances he scored in six of eight games this season Bravo pen gets inside Weber unable to get it through and buy two Ray positioning here this evening by Austin FC to make it difficult for Timbers too to connect on their passes trying to break the lines unable to do so as we'll have a foul committed by Moreno pressure there by monzon nearly forcing the turnover Rodriguez switches sides Rodriguez with space from the top of the air blocked way by belichuck this will go out for a corner that's been a couple times Rodriguez has cut to his left this time had plenty of space to work with as he just works his way down the top of the box no one's stepping up there you see the little deflection too by Bravo luckily that did not affect the save there by Belichick as he Dove to the ground to make the stop Toure on the far corner the service headed away cannot cleared out sent over Mike Burton trying to tee that up with his right foot look here by Burton it's down leaving just too far behind that ball on the shot attempt break here as well Austin dominating the game one to nil is our scores we'll take a look back at that opening goal by Sebastian Pino his first goal here we have just solid work Griffin playing it back but plays it right to Rodriguez Rodriguez going right to the inline crossing over there you see that near Post run by Pino and he gets a pie in the outstretched arm of Ryan bilchuck great play by Rodriguez fighting Pino the striker and all he had to do was tap it in for his first goal of the Season second assist on the air for David Rodriguez this game it's been all Austin they have controlled The Possession right now 64 percent to 36 percent they also have 116 passes in the opposition's half you're looking at Timbers too just with 37 passes Beyond Midfield being more Dynamic being more ruthless here at the moment in his first 33 minutes of play Timbers two though a chance here to catch their breath get some final instructions here from Shannon Murray before going back out to the pitch see maybe they can make that one little adjustment with how they're playing and maybe it just comes to how they're bringing the ball up right now we've seen Timbers 2 trying to use the width of the field to build up their play maybe they try to go down the middle see if they can try to catch the Midfield of Austin off guard gotta find a way to get the ball to the feet but floraman's on so you can get Blake Pope also getting up to field more as well as Penn this portion of the match is brought to you by Saint David's Healthcare the official partner of Austin fc2 billichuk plays it to the center Weber for Penn plays it in Jean will play it back that's Farrell lost go back to hell sometimes in game he doesn't see the ball for minutes it's been about 15 minutes since he last touched the ball you get to see a shot on target hasn't had to make a save Rodriguez he's been all over the pitch here tonight for Austin coming in on the wing this time going up the spine forces the foul as well you can see here he's tripped out by Victor Griffith last season with Phoenix Rising began his professional career with North Texas he made his debut at the age of 16. of Atletico San Luis and Liga MX that close ball kept in by Haverty near post and that one sneaks through and Austin FC takes a two to nil lead Salvatore matzah Ferrell getting the goal for the Verdean black [Music] [Applause] a little creativity here on the set he's through a planet out the service to the back post after he gets his head to it and then somehow sneaks by belichuck another near-post goal for Austin FC [Music] about your creativity that will come to 36th minute a lot of times you'll see teams just go immediately into the box on those set pieces well Austin not doing it a few different times also on the corners electing a played Short on numerous occasions [Music] [Music] [Applause] so the Canadian with his first goal perhaps in a third round out of the University of South Florida so the former bull getting his first goal of his professional career Ferdinand Griffith Penn Weber turns away Griffith stumbles over the ball loses possession ascencio Ramirez tripped up Rodriguez Toure long shot on the ground just passing outstretch arms there pilachuck [Applause] it's corner of the game

it's got to be as strong intellius has played it out live by monzon you're gonna play the way they want and they have tonight Ferdinand plays today I'm looking for Bang the playback Bravo Weber flag is on the striker trying to get by to Ray Warner coming for tempers too and they need this corner to find a way to get creative right here see if they can find one of those big boys Tyler Clay comes up at six foot four another person that brings height and leaping ability Ferdinand another tall player for this Timber side there you see Clegg in the middle of the six yard box he's the one near post [Applause] Pope sends it in the mixer repelled away down the touchline here post well it gets by Weber he's got room to roam Noel two Runners with him plays it in back was cleggy and Rodriguez he also had Pino there couldn't connect on the passel he's able to link up with one of those two players great chance for gold maybe Rodriguez still has one Rodriguez blocked Away by belichuck getting big right there as he went down to make the save [Music] [Applause] already ready let's talk about your counter right there for Austin unable to get a goal from it but they very much could have had their third goal if that pass is connected either Rodriguez or Pino and that Noel would like back on the pass try [Music] dang this possessed the ball getting the second goal is going to come in 36 minute meanwhile Pino's goal coming back in the 21st minute and that's where we stand here as we get close to the break of close of course we'll have highlights and stats for you and what else is going around in MLS next Pro in the spotlight look at this last counter here's that pass back by Noel just a little didn't have enough Pace it looked like he wanted to find Rodriguez there but just to not have enough Pace to get it to him and they still had a great chance here Rodriguez getting into his right foot and there you see Belichick coming up making himself big to make the save otherwise this game could easily be three to nil in favor of Austin thank you I got a like what Rodriguez has done here this evening showing off both feet you've seen a couple Chances with the left foot that time dragging the ball to his right below Chuck though with a better save sharp angle there for Rodriguez as well Timbers two just looking to get to the break right now like to get one last Dash in key will be how much stoppage time has added on here in the first 45 minutes of play two minutes of stoppage time will be added on I wonder if we could see some early adjustments here in the second half as well for Timbers too when we're looking for pen Ray though back in position will turn away I'm 18 years old out of Haiti another ball switching sides for Rodriguez another beautiful pass across right to the feet of Rodriguez Rodriguez looking across again his time sent Away by Clegg once again on the near post Sebastian Pino almost the exact same thing we saw in that opening goal thank you he had a rocket of a shot earlier in this first half too and there is the whistle to end the first half playing an absolutely dominant performance by Austin FC as they will go to the locker room up two to nil goals by Sebastian Pino and Salvatore mounts on to give Austin FC that two to zero lead and for a Timbers two they're gonna have to find a way to be more productive here in the attacking third if they want to get back in this one go take the break and try to readjust I think if your Austin FC no big changes here after 45 minutes play two new players with new goals they're first here in their Pro careers for Austin FC's Pinot gets the first goal and Matt's Farrell with the second our score here and a half Austin fc2 Timbers zero Major League Soccer and rcx sports have

and followers and the craziness of the week carried on over into Huntsville Jonathan Bolanos with a goal just nine seconds into their match now you might think that's the fastest goal in league history but actually it ties crew 2's Marco nicoletto for fastest and afterwards Jack Collison was just really proud of the way his team responded especially after last week and they're disappointing

four goals that helped hcfc Mount the 4-2 comeback needed to secure just their second win of the Season his impact coming in as a substitute in the 31st minute proved the difference in this one now as for the best goal of match day 12 there were certainly a lot of stunners to choose from but this one has to go to LA Galaxy 2's Alex Alcala the full word with a quick pass then pointing to the exact spot of where he wanted the ball I'm a Dean with the perfect assist and the fall fruit traffic finding the back of the net Alcala earned exactly 50 of the vote or best goal across all matches rounding

by Roberts on the far side chance for an equalizer off of it and a goal long pass Atop The Arc to Sean kicks out fires go felipovich went down and that's gonna do it Columbus Crew two a 2-1 win time to take a look at the starting 11 first for Kenny Bundy's group and he talked about how his team had a very professional performance Shannon Murray said that he's had this group consistently the last couple weeks and he has Ryan belichuck in net it will be yair Gonzalez off of the post in the net Coba Coba passed the defender Tega combo manzan to put Portland ahead he's pure on it here's your

Elias katsaros held uterus how about Atlantis Vargas with some space and speed alennis Vargas puts it in front it's knocked down Ballers loose they score think opportunity generated in the early Moments by Tacoma Rodriguez rodillo Rodriguez to his left foot cross in front Anderson didn't happen for them last week against San Jose can they make it happen tonight Herrera saved by Paul's camp 2-2 after three rounds Ozzy Cisneros now had the first goal this evening for Kansas City and Cisneros converts and again a must score situation for Tacoma a native of Pickering Canada a 29 year old between the pipes for the home team tonight Nick law 35 years old in the middle you heard that right Bolanos crosses kicked in goal Joe Ash calls for it in the middle cross track there it is third time to charm moments away from huntsville's first ever Road win spotis long goal from the left side that stings for Huntsville probably not going to affect the outcome it does not it's a final two Steve Cook this will be his starting 11. hideous first start of the season will be Justin Roberts nice ball Ford tipped up and this is going to be put in for the opening goal of the game Toronto that one also will be kicking at 7 p.m Eastern Camino from long range oh Gannon Busan Crossing it back a shot oh Morales sends it up and over and now another chance for Columbus to close it out Gannon strike and he gets it by Garces and Columbus will take two points at home as they win in the penalty shootout by a score of six to five a couple of changes Jared Salazar will play in the Midfield Teo Enrique as well as jaycar Palazzo starting 11. the visitors will come out in a 4-2-3-1 as well it may look like a 4-4-2 at times because this is a group dealing with a number of personnel changes eight changes specifically from their starting 11 last Vargas did a great job of looking to break lines and take advantage in transition then it was a well-slotted ball just unfortunately a little too far in front to where Ocho was able to collect and another chance off the post still not out of pressure or Quakes too as that one goes over the end line for a corner kick now here comes San Jose one day Junior in transition down into the left corner sends a ball across shot on goal back on the attack shot blocked pandeka looking to break through plenty of action in match day 13 but now we'll look at what's coming up here in match day 14 we'll begin Thursday night St Louis city taking on Minnesota Whitecaps take on lafc to that one at 10 p.m Eastern on Thursday then Friday New England Revolution taking on Toronto FC and that one then back at it Full Slate pretty much on Sunday with games begin with Columbus Crew two take on Huntsville City FC meanwhile Tacoma Defiance will close out the night against this Austin FC side Colorado Rapids right now trailing by a score of two to nothing so they might be looking at bounce back from their first loss Timbers 2 will host real monarchs as we take a look back at the opening highlights a play here between Austin FC and Timbers 2 for Austin FC they would get the opening goal look at this ball here by Rodriguez driving to the inline Crossing near post cutting two is Sebastian Pino to get the opening goal his first goal for the verde in Black and Austin FC would not be done they have been the more dangerous too the more productive two here Rodriguez getting to his left foot and takes a deflection and knocked Away by billichuk David Rodriguez having a great first 45 minutes of play here he would be getting dragged to the ground and then Griffith called for the foul and this would set up the second goal for Austin FC Toure plays it out wide Noel will send this across and then it would find half a t and then it would be the center back Salvatore matzah Farrell getting his first goal of his career the third round pick getting on the scoresheet Rodriguez dropping his back to two Ray two Ray lines it up sneaks through and barely trickles wide a billichuk another beautiful ball across here trying to tee this out and up is Charlie ascencio with a left foot outstretched Arms by Belichick doesn't have to make the same on that one but nonetheless Austin FC the better of the two here in the first half they have dominated The Possession in the first 45 minutes of play for Portland too they're just gonna have to go back to the drawing board they're gonna have to reset they have to find a way to get on the other side of Midfield they were not able to do very much of that during the first half they're going to look to make some adjustments here coming out of the break and we'll see how they respond you wonder if the tired legs might be playing a factory here for Timbers 2 having won in Houston on Thursday night maybe some heavy legs here this evening at Austin Austin Sunday so they are fresh and ready to go final meeting here in the regular season between these two sides Austin won the first one up in Portland by a score of one to zero is David Rodriguez who had the long goal in that game coming in the fourth minute Portland able weather the storm in that game but unable to get an equalizer here they'll try to jump start the second half Timbers two having won a club best four in a row coming into the evening meanwhile Austin FC on a winning streak of their own having won three straight after dropping three in a row we'll make it look they'll try to make it to four in a row here if they're able to hold on to this 2-0 win black solid opening 45 minutes what will the second 45 have in store we'll find out in just a matter of moments quiet opening 45 and we are underway in the second half from Palmer Field at St David's Performance Center in Austin Texas between Austin FC and Timbers too Josh toll with you 2-0 lead for Austin FC goals coming from Sebastian Pino in the 21st minute then it'd be Salvatore matsonferro getting his first goal in the 36th minute Rodriguez would assist on the opening goal then on the second goal it'd be Haverty giving the assist for the Verdean black Ferdinand enough touch on that misplayed it trying to win the ball back now as Michael Burton goes to the ground look like Ferdinand just caught in between decision making there on that giveaway Burton played all the way back after the old played outside Austin FC the best record in MLS next Pro six wins one loss and one draw here at home Bravo will slotted away Weber however on the return pass Bravo milichuk as well has lost coming into the evening both with 37 saves on the year Moss though yet to be challenged by Timbers to Ray let's look at this Austin FC side what they've done in terms of set pieces whether it be a corner or from the center of the field just more imaginative in this game finding different ways to create opportunities to find a way to be successful in the final third well your side ascencio down the line burn cutting his way inside Noel trying in between the legs of Ferdinand unable to do so here's Victor Griffith looking for monzon Tapped back by hafferty hits off [Music] Burton to Ray [Music] CB Legion sentio one tonight for Austin would

Defenders nearly does Pope coming over going to the ground some Timbers coming out with a little bit more intensity here in the second half see if they can actually put Austin under some pressure [Music] Timbers looking to switch sides for Pope [Applause] and unable to track this down on the far touch line 16 has been key here for Austin FC in these last three games big part of it the players on the back line for head coach Fred ottley you can also we're just kind of going under the radar like Ramirez a couple other guys as well played forward and chested down Penn [Music] thing Ferdinand Clegg there's a through ball connecting with Weber a service [Music] [Music] long ball [Music] Jean plays it off Weber ascencio charging up curtain that's Burton Minnesota he's rep U.S at the u-17 level he's also scored five goals for the U.S side does have one goal on the season to Ray Noel Ferdinand hustling for the ball gets it for the moment played it to space to be essential to the ball he's gonna have the first yellow of the game [Applause] look at the bomb process is Ferdinand but it gets a little too physical here with ascencio good enough so Keyshawn Ferdinand with the first booking of the game hey wins the ball back trying to play it around essential Cynthia does a good job getting in front of the ball and then you can see Ferdinand clearly lowering his shoulder in frustration into the backside of asensio [Music] foreign call for the foul lejanda to Ray some subs here made at least to the timber side in the next few minutes A lot of times you'll see at the 60th or 65th minute [Music] for both these two teams as they'll both play on Sunday next week boss but no one home but coming up lays Burton on the back side all right thank you Burton to Ray Rodriguez Rodriguez looking for Pinot once again Pino drags it back with a left and Pino has a brace [Applause] look at this s effort here by Austin Rodriguez to the end line we see him do that all night on the near post ball bear gets it to Pino Pino with the left foot and puts it in the back corner for his second of the game [Applause] Notre Dame black controlling this game you know with a goal here in the 60th minute [Music] so all that a Santiago Chile and what a game here this evening in front of the home crowd [Applause] these various players for Austin everyone having a solid game here this evening

with an assist and a goal in tonight's game [Applause] not afraid to put the pedal down gray cross hits off Pino and then right into the oncoming body of David Rodriguez and no doubt about it this time from Rodriguez slots it in the corner and Austin FC has a commanding four to nil lead back-to-back goals for Austin FC and the span of one minute [Music] in the 60th minute and then David Rodriguez in the 61st [Applause] confidence is brewing for Austin FC [Applause] and now they're looking to add to that total Rodriguez has numbers inside Rodriguez cuts it back Ferdinand though there Noel was coming on late boy if we would have had three goals in the span of two minutes that would have been something else impressive nonetheless for the Verdean black [Music] poverty will send it in sent Away by Clegg Timbers right now gotta Hope just to get that wander just take away the clean sheet try to spoil some of the fun here for the Austin faithful Ramirez ascencio Burton Noel he's gonna dial it up from long range crowd loving what they are seeing a round of applause no one's stepping up [Music] all right to rain Rodriguez Ramirez sensio back post headed on nice ball in there headed on target but belichuck able make the stop on Noel since he has two Runners here that he can go to gets it to Noel later behind him was Louis John well that gets by Noel Steve Louis John has a great chance as well page throughout the night Noel sentio this ball defect deflected out this portion of the match brought to you by SeatGeek the official partner of Austin fc2 [Music] into the area Burton at the top of the box [Applause] [Music] I need to see a sub from either side foreign goals in the game for Austin FC first one coming from Sebastian Pino in the 21st minute assisted by David Rodriguez gonna be Salvatore lots of Farrell scoring into 36th minute assistant on the play by Haverty here Clegg hoping to get his side going two goals here in the second half as well for Austin it'd be David Rodriguez in the 61st minute but a minute before that it would be smashing Pinot with his second goal there you see the long range shot attempt from Clegg y Sean with the assist on the gold Pinot his second one Rodriguez the only goal that has yet to be credited with an assist coming in tonight seven different goal scorers for Austin now that total up to nine teamers need to try to get a jolt of energy here and get pen going get monzon going you wonder if that might happen if the sub is brought on the state of Texas to Ray Rodriguez back to Toure headed on Burton nearly found that far post beautiful pass across two-ray nice little scoop pass there Burton able to get his head to it but nothing happening there this portion of the match brought to you by body armor and official partner of Austin fc2 Burton gets by Ferdinand Noel to Ray just over the crossbar Austin FC well they can be a threat inside the 18 or outside as we've seen here tonight Toure with that right foot looking dangerous couldn't get any dip behind it though just a Pure Line Drive as we'll have two subs come on here for Austin FC Noel will come off fodreon [Applause] Pino will come off santian will come on race for Sebastian Pino tonight coming on 13th overall pick in this year's MLS super draft foreign just too heavy of a touch there Rodriguez was all alone ahead as he got behind Bravo different lanes that Austin FC has used tonight to find different runs just controlling this game from start here at the 72nd minute [Applause] [Music] Ramirez the 22 year old foreign [Music] [Applause] dropped at 13th overall out of San Diego State University but he does have professional playing experience back when he was a 70 year old with San Diego loyal in the USL championship scored a goal at the age of 17 ultimately played in five games before heading to University a big performer in his one year with San Diego State as he looks to attack fodre staying on his feet trying to get around Ferdinand as he's dragged to the ground [Music] head coach Brett ottley about the experience that fodrees has will have a yellow card handed out as well crowd not liking that never do Santa yarn the player given the yellow card but talking about CJ fodgery and how usually when you come from college you're just not used to the length of the Season that will play a factor not used to going against grown men but he did that as a seventh year old so he understood that aspect of it the shorter season though being the biggest thing you look at right now this season being about 20 weeks in really taking a toll on the Bonnie you see how players adjust throughout that time having scored in back-to-back games before this evening so he still has a chance to make it three in a row if he's able to get on the score sheet Ferdinand where he used to see him just bouncing up the touchline I haven't seen much of that tonight probably because lack possession here for Timbers too Ramirez Burton [Applause] ascencio the players just dropped back by Timbers two giving Austin so much space to work but to make the decision on where they want to pass the ball or if they want to strike the ball gives them a lane to attack as well I hear fodrey trying to reconnect with sensio does ascencio on the end line Beaudry will let this go out of play and we'll have our seventh corner of the evening now for Austin all right Seven Corners to just three four Timbers two possession 60-40 but it feels like more than that for Austin Toure headed up by Ferdinand not out this portion of the match brought to you by HEB the official partner of Austin fc2 come to our hydration break here in the second half Timbers two still yet to make a sub if that changes here maybe after this break one other game going on St Louis leading real monarchs by a score of two to nil looking at what's up next for these two teams Timbers two will be hosting real monarchs that'll be 6 p.m Pacific Time up in Portland meanwhile Austin FC they'll be on the road they'll be at Tacoma Defiance that won't be Sunday night 10 p.m Eastern this is the final regular season meeting between these two sides Austin FC looking for their second win over Timbers two they got the first one up in Portland by a score of one nil the man that scored in that one David Rodriguez who does have a goal in tonight's game he also has an assist as well Sebastian Pinot with a brace here tonight Salvatore montefaro also getting his first goal his professional career Timbers two you can't say they've had many opportunities here this evening and that really has been the back breaker tonight for Timbers to share a lack of ability to get it across Midfield to create any kind of opportunities it's been an absolute quiet night for Florian monzon Joshua Penn I think Pope hasn't been able to drive forward on the ball we'll get Austin doing a great job just stretching the back line you don't have a substitution coming on here four Timbers two as Diego Elizalde will come in horizontal will come in for Tristan Weber now there's only a 18 year old Academy product for Timbers too foreign streak for Austin is they've shut out every single team and they're looking to do it for a fourth time if they're able to hold on to this win here for the next 10 minutes or so without allowing Timbers to get on the scoresheet Timbers two coming into the game had outscored their opponents ten to four in their four-game winning streak but that's going to come to a close here it looks like most likely but we've seen some crazy 10 minutes in the game of soccer Timbers two hoping for one of those crazy 10 minutes right here [Music] in the back heel all sent y Ramirez [Music] foreign [Music] six wins seven losses on the season we're hoping to get to 500 tonight but it looks like they're gonna be handed their eighth loss meanwhile for Austin FC they're gonna get their ninth win of the season and their seventh at home right now and at MLS next Pro play it's two-handed their first loss of the season stopping their remarkable run that they've had best start ever to an MLs next Pro season losing the span of 12 match days break from the previous set last year obviously in the inaugural season that was at 11. podri will play it over ascencio alzaldi plays it up one's on with the right back post and it looked like lost money got his fingertips to that hey coach Brett Ollie says he'll go minutes without seeing a ball monzon one of the best strikers right now in MLS next for looking for that far post Moss with a big save to keep this game 4-0 comes on six goals on the season having scored in six of the eight games this year top five in scoring in the league for monzon High arcing ball [Applause] pen from the top but right at loss so loss see more shots on target here in the last minute than he's seen in the previous 81. nice ball here in on the corner runs on Bravo playing to the top there were 10 weights hanzan was the player that went down in the box trying to draw a penalty didn't get the foul to lead to that as we'll have three Subs now for Austin [Music] [Applause] excuse me so Ingham will come in Rodriguez off how about the game for Rodriguez a goal and an assist here tonight Ariana will come on for Michael Burton and then Torres will come on for touring handed to Austin FC between their Midfield linking up with their attackers just an absolute performance here this evening foreign for Pope Pope to his left foot that's one that Pope would like back here by Pope freeze faces coming back playing deep defensively I had a runner on the back post there's only applying the pressure as all day has been a pest since coming on trying to make things difficult just trying to force that mistake see if they can pounce on it have to love the effort from Elizalde here five minutes remaining love as a coach has seen the effort all the way through knowing that you're most unlikely gonna not come back from four goals down still putting in the work [Music] I need a slow start for Timbers two this season and found their way these last four games before coming in tonight's match against Austin definitely some games they can build on this one they'll want to forget but there's gonna be a lot of places they can take from this game and learn from the mistakes that were made and improve going into next week it's gonna be all about those improvements that are made over practice time here next week even with his performance by Austin I'm sure head coach Brett ottley he's going to have a few things that he picks out on tape that the hills is going to want to see improvement from his side Ferdinand Ferdinand kind of help by fodrey Santiam back to fodgery fodrey denied by billichock photry looking for three straight games with a goal at least for now denied by billichuk Ramirez region to fodre so you can pull four there Torres was on the back post great chance here for fodgery nice threaded Ball by santione fodre is just him and the keeper and another big stop by Belichick he's made two really good saves on Great Looks the first one in the first half by Rodriguez and that time against fodgery some positive still for Timbers two to take away in this game [Music] Ariano Ramirez Steve Louis Jean will play it out halferty who has an assist in the game gets it on the end line knocked over by Bravo three of the four goals tonight had assist for Austin run through those goal scorers here after this corner now the former San Diego State Aztec will take this left-footed ball podri back post over matzah Farrell go back to how this game began a 21st minute Sebastian Pino with the goal assisted by David Rodriguez then 15 minutes later be Salvatore mozzafaro with his
