Austin FC Loses Again Heading Into World Cup Break
Fallou Fall scored his first career goal, and Ben Lundt made his season debut with a shutout as St. Louis won its third in four matches.
On Saturday, Saint Louis City defeated Austin FC 3-0 in the final match before the World Cup break, with career-first goals from Fallou Fall and Daniel Edelman.
Austin entered the match in turmoil after firing coach Nico Estévez and sporting director Rodolfo Borrell on Monday, leaving the club winless in four straight games.
Goalkeeper Ben Lundt made his season debut and recorded his third career shutout, while defender Dante Polvara exited in the 23rd minute with an apparent injury.
A 1-0 lead emerged when Austin defender Guilherme Biro headed an own goal in the 40th minute; Fall scored in the 56th minute and Edelman added a goal in the 90th minute.
Eleven different players have scored for the team this season, tying Saint Louis City with four other teams for the most in MLS while remaining unbeaten in its last four matches.
