Austin FC Falls to 2-1 Defeat at Real Salt Lake

Austin FC News Release


Sandy, UTAH - Austin FC fell in a 2-1 defeat on Saturday night against Real Salt Lake after playing with 10 men for nearly the entire second half at Rio Tinto Stadium.

After dominating control of the ball in the opening stages, the Verde & Black got their reward in the 24th minute. Picking up the ball at the edge of the area, Diego Fagundez slid a through ball into an advancing Alex Ring. Ring beat RSL goalkeeper Zac MacMath at his near post with a clever finish to give ATXFC the lead.

Andrew Tarbell then came up with a fantastic save 10 minutes later to preserve that lead, reacting sharply to tip a close-range effort from Salt Lake's Sergio Córdova over the bar.

The start of the second half did not go to plan for ATXFC. Dani Pereira was sent off for denying RSL's Bobby Wood a clear goal scoring opportunity in the 47th minute, and the hosts equalized in the 55th minute through Maikel Chang.

Austin's defense held firm and came very close to earning a draw, only to be denied when Andrew Brody scored from outside the area in the 88th minute. Sebastián Driussi had two opportunities to level the score late, but MacMath denied the Argentine on both occasions.
