Austin FC Makes First Win Worth While.

That all changed with three goals inside of 12 electric second-half minutes, leading to Austin FC’s 3-1 win at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park over the Colorado Rapids.

Austin FC head coach Josh Wolff, in the post-match press conference, acknowledged how big the win was for the club and the city they represent.

Wolff also had praise for Jared Stroud, who started his first match for Austin, sparked the expansion club’s opener with his hard-charging run into the box that led to Diego Fagundez’s opening goal, and brought energy throughout his time on the pitch.

Wolff noted that although the team wasn’t able to generate all the offense they wanted in the first half, Stroud made contributions running at the defense that carried over into the second half.
