The referee for AustinFC’s 1-1 draw against the Colorado Rapids, oversaw what longtime MLS voice Adrian Healey called “one of the worst officiating displays I’ve witnessed.”
When Austin FC lines up for its first-ever playoff game next weekend, Sunday at 2pm CT, its fans will be glad not to see Pierre-Luc Lauziere anywhere near Q2 Stadium.
Things boiled over in stoppage time, when Lalas Abubakar committed an obvious foul on Driussi, which was missed. The sequence resulted in a corner kick for the Rapids that Diego Rubio headed into the Austin FC goal for a buzz-killing equalizer. “It’s tough to see,” said Austin FC head coach Josh Wolff said, who was suspended for the match for criticizing refereeing decisions in previous matches. “There’s an integrity in the game that’s not being maintained, unfortunately. But it's on to the playoffs."
