@LincolnRose will kick off commentary duties on iHeartMedia’s ALT 97.5 FM this Saturday, April 24, when Austin FC takes on the Colorado Rapids.
AUSTIN OUTLOOK While Austin did not earn their first point in L.A., there’s no doubt that the expansion team acquitted themselves against one of the favorites heading into the season. ATXFC won the possession battle and created chances that could have resulted in the club’s first MLS goal and, possibly, a first W. Austin held the LAFC attack in check for over 60 minutes and the home side’s first goal came off a wicked deflection. ATXFC pushed for an equalizer -- and nearly got it through Jon Gallagher -- but LAFC ultimately was able to get their second in transition and sealed all three points. After a strong first 60 minutes, Austin had more standout moments after substitutions were made, with Gallagher, Jared Stroud and Žan Kolmanič providing an attacking boost after coming on in the last 30 minutes of the match. Those players, along with others, will continue to push to get into the starting XI as the season goes along. This match again came on the road, as Austin start the season on a seven-game road trip before opening Q2 Stadium on June 19. https://www.austinfc.com/post/2021/04/21/austin-fc-vs-colorado-rapids-match-preview-presented-lexus
