On May 8th, Austin will play host to LA Galaxy in a clash of the Major League Soccer. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but hot day with daytime temperatures of 33 degrees, which hopefuly doesnt affect the pace of the match. Austin is fresh off their 2-1 win against Houston Dynamo. Sebastián Ferreira struck first for Houston Dynamo in the 5th minute, but got the equalizer for Austin in the 39th minute But luckily in the 66th minute, they were able to complete the comback with a goal by Sebastián Driussi. With 21 points in their last 10 matches Austin should be reasonably happy with their performance, while lA Galaxy sits at 4th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-1 loss against Real Salt Lake. Marcelo Andres Silva Fernandez struck first for Real Salt Lake in the 49th minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, LA Galaxy was frustrated by Real Salt Lake’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Real Salt Lake ended the match with the shutout victory. With 17 points in their last 10 matches LA Galaxy should be reasonably happy with their performance.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win each.
LA Galaxy’s top weapon lately has been Javier Hernández, who has 3 goals in the last 5 matches. Austin has been fortunate! In the last 5 matches, both Maximiliano Urruti and Sebastián Driussi are on scoring streaks. They have each scored 4 goals for Austin and look to continue their dominance.
