🌳PLAYOFF BOUND🌳

With San Jose’s loss today against the Vancouver Whitecaps and Colorados defeat against RSL, @austinfc has officially secured a position in the playoffs.

The only thing left to do is fight for the highest spot possible and avoid the Wild Card.

Austin is coming off heartbreak in the USOC and will be looking to bounce back with a win at home to clinch a playoff spot.

St. Louis has been one of the worst teams in the West this season and would need something special to beat ATX at Q2, where Austin is undefeated in their last 10 MLS matches.
