Austin FC News Release


Portland, OREGON - A goal in the first half from Dani Pereira, coupled with an excellent team defensive effort, led Austin FC to a 1-0 victory over Portland Timbers on Wednesday night at Providence Park. The shutout was Austin's eighth of the season and sixth on the road as the Verde & Black ended Portland's streak of 16 consecutive matches with at least one (1) goal.

Pereira opened the scoring near the end of a combative first half. His shot from outside the penalty area took a deflection on its way in, his fourth goal for the Club in all competitions.

On the other side of halftime, Brad Stuver made a crucial save with Oleksandr Svatok blocking Felipe Mora's follow-up shot. As the game wore on, the Verde & Black continued to successfully frustrate the Timbers' high-flying attack to pick up all three (3) points in the Pacific Northwest.
