Matt Besler, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.32. Besler won 4 of 6 duels.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Sporting KC wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Austin have scored 5 goals in 5 league games away. 7 goals have been conceded by Austin in these games.
