00:00Owen Wolff has been ever present on that left-hand side, he's played various positions but he's done a good job of finding ways to contribute in the final third.
00:07Up top Timothy Tillman, he came up in the final moments of that last match against RONOVC, he played as a striker, tonight he gets his start as a striker.
00:16It is LAFC in the all-white, attacking from left to right who gets underway.
00:21An early touch for Hugo Lloris as he launches that ball forward.
00:25One of the major changes from midweek is Ryan Hollingshead coming back in.
00:29He always looked at the centre-backs if they go forward, they have.
00:33That's just they feel like it's going to be a cross but...
00:36Obviously lining up like he's going to go for goal, he does and it's just over.
00:44Seen them work a routine where they go back to the edge and he goes for goal.
00:49Instead this one is delivered towards a far post, it's!
00:51Fodre who found a pocket of space, just couldn't redirect the header on target.
00:56Set-piece is how Austin FC nicked the three points in LA earlier this season.
01:01And this time it's...
01:05Palencia coming out wide.
01:07His angle on that cross!
01:09Porches!
01:10Keeps it alive!
01:11And the effort is blasted over!
01:13Abobese attacking space!
01:15Abobese should have done better!
01:17LAFC finally get Palencia higher up the pitch to where he can put in a service and...
01:22This falls really kindly.
01:24Abobese maybe just snatches at it, catches it as it's rising as opposed to on it's...
01:28Keeping the opposition score is quite a feat and...
01:31Even more so when you consider this back three was put together very late on.
01:35It was all about Aaron Long and playing a back four early on.
01:39Jesus out.
01:40His back three have come together and played like they've been together all season long.
01:44Moran from distance!
01:46Suba with the save and the spill is...
01:49Pounced upon by Georgievich.
01:50That was better!
01:51They tested in their own defensive end.
01:53Having to defend running back towards their own goal.
01:56Having to defend in the 18.
01:58Something that we didn't see pretty much at all in the first half from Austin.
02:01Getting service in the box.
02:03Putting defenders in uncomfortable positions where they have to react not only to the ball...
02:07But a runner trying to attack space as well.
02:13In the A.
02:16Gallagher got central.
02:17Gallagher goes for goal!
02:18And now it's Lurie Smith to save!
02:21Attacks are coming to life!
02:23You can see some sharpness in the final third and this is really well received from Gallagher.
02:27Catches it on a half turn.
02:29Knows that Borges can't get close enough to him because the release is so quick.
02:33You almost feel like with LAFC it's...
02:35They've worn the opposition down over the 90 minutes.
02:39Smolnikov.
02:40That cross in flashes through.
02:43That natural width you saw there from Smolnikov.
02:47Not far away from both of Obesey and Martinez.
02:49Now, it's Austin coming the other way.
02:51The game opening here.
02:52Obrian.
02:53Good challenge from Tafari.
02:54Good challenge.
02:55And he's going to run that Mario made famous at LAFC.
03:01Still going to far right.
03:03Still going.
03:04Could go for goal himself!
03:05Big save!
03:06From Suva.
03:07It's incredible.
03:08Absolutely incredible.
03:09I had two attacking players who aren't giving me any option.
03:12He baits up the defender and now he's picked his head up.
03:14He's checked his shoulder a couple times.
03:16No off me.
03:17Martinez, come make a run so I can give you this chance.
03:19But in the end his hands were almost forced.
03:22His feet were almost forced into taking the shot on his own.
03:25What a goal that would have been.
03:26I'll send the Mendoza.
03:27The kick delivered.
03:28And it's in at the front post!
03:29Finally we have a breakthrough and it comes from a set-piece.
03:32Austin Lee late.
03:33What else?
03:34What else?
03:35Certainly.
03:36For the Austin FC.
03:37Talk about Sop coming in and making a difference.
