Austin vs Los Angeles

LAFC's flawless start to the 2026 MLS season hit a wall at Q2 Stadium on Saturday night. Austin FC held the Western Conference leaders to a goalless draw, ending LAFC's four-game winning run while their historic shutout streak extended to a record-setting five consecutive games. It was a night where defenses reigned supreme despite 23 combined shots. Austin FC controlled 60% of possession but mustered just one shot on target from 12 attempts, while Son Heung-Min, Denis Bouanga, and LAFC's usually potent attack were equally blunted — managing a single effort on goal. Five yellow cards underlined the physical edge to the contest. LAFC move to 13 points from five games and remain unbeaten atop the Western Conference, but will head into the international break knowing they left two points behind in Texas. For Austin FC, keeping a clean sheet against the league's most feared attack is a morale-boosting result after back-to-back defeats.
