Austin FC Draws 2-2 Against Real Salt Lake

Austin FC managed a late comeback against Real Salt Lake, securing a 2-2 draw after being down 2-0. Goals from Jáder Obrian and Guilherme Biro in the final minutes salvaged a point for Austin, but they remain unlikely to reach the playoffs for the second consecutive year. Despite the draw, Austin FC's playoff hopes are effectively extinguished, requiring an improbable goal differential turnaround against the Portland Timbers. Real Salt Lake, now third in the Western Conference, initially took the lead with goals from Matt Crooks and Diogo Gonçalves before conceding late. The match highlighted Austin's struggles throughout the season, including a disappointing one win in their last nine games. Coach Josh Wolff's future remains uncertain as the season winds down, with speculation about his potential dismissal.
