AUSTIN, Texas — While it certainly wasn't the optimal result for the Verde and Black, Austin FC did show some much needed signs of improvement in a 2-2 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes at Q2 Stadium Saturday night.
Austin FC was able to break a 3-game goalless drought, scoring two goals on a pair of headers from Emiliano Rigoni in the 40th minute and Sebastián Driussi in the 78th minute.
Despite the offense finally making an appearance, San Jose was still able to stay on the front foot, having never trailed in the match. US National Jackson Yueill and Jeremy Ebobisse kept San Jose in front with their two goals in the 21st and 75th minutes, respectively.
