Austin FC's not-so-great half season

Austin, TXLocal News

Austin FC is having a difficult Major League Soccer season, scoring only 13 goals in 18 matches, which ranks as the second-lowest in the league. The team recently achieved a 2-0 victory over Colorado, marking their first regular-season win since mid-April. Coach Nico Estévez expressed his happiness with the win, emphasizing that it should have occurred earlier in the season. Despite their struggles, Austin's record of 6-5-7 currently places them in playoff contention due to MLS' qualification rules. The Verde and Black will host the 2025 MLS All-Star Game on July 23 at Q2 Stadium, though it is unlikely any of their players will be voted onto the team.

Estévez is expected to choose at least one player from his squad for the All-Star selection. As they prepare for their next match against the New York Red Bulls, tickets for the game are available on the resale market starting at $38. The team's performance continues to draw attention as they aim to improve their standings in the league.
