El Tree looks for redemption in Saturday’s face-off with St. Louis City
Austin FC’s 2024 season has gotten off to a rather inauspicious start. After a disappointing 2-1 loss to Minnesota spoiled a rowdy Q2 Stadium atmosphere in the season opener, last Saturday the Verde and Black escaped its first road test of the season with a 0-0 draw against the Seattle Sounders that only a defender – or certain psychopath managers like José Mourinho and Diego Simeone – could love.
Fortunately for Austin, none of those 23 shots found the back of the net. A draw in Seattle is a positive result regardless of the circumstances, and Wolff chose to focus on that fact after the match rather than the lack of any attacking threat to speak of. “Very proud of the work we put in tonight,” Hedges emphasized. “As a back line and as a unit, we gained a lot of confidence from this performance.”
If Wolff and his players can draw confidence from an unsightly stalemate in enemy territory, more power to them. But that confidence needs to translate on the pitch.
