Enemy Scouting Report - Austin FC

The Houston Dynamo come into tonight’s match against Austin FC after a 2-2 draw with the Colorado Rapids last weekend. New signing Ondrej Lingr made an instant impact off the bench, helping the team salvage a point in what looked like another home loss. Now, the Dynamo will look to build on that late comeback—but Austin FC is ready to spoil the party at Shell Energy Stadium.
Austin is starting to find form, despite a heavy loss to Vancouver mixed into their recent run. They’ve undergone major changes this year, including a coaching swap—Josh Wolff has joined Houston’s staff, while Nico Estévez now leads Austin after his time with FC Dallas. The team lost several key players over the winter, none bigger than Sebastián Driussi. To fill that void, Austin brought in striker Brandon Vázquez from Monterrey—a strong, intelligent finisher who can lead the line. They also added Myrto Uzuni, a fast and aggressive winger from Albania, and Nicolás Dubersarsky, a young Argentine midfielder known for his vision and quick feet in tight spaces.
