'Progressing in the right direction': Updates on the Frail Four as Austin FC takes to the road Austin FC is liking its set pieces so far in 2026. But Nico Estévez is also looking to improve how his team does it in open play.

Updates on Austin FC's "Frail Four," and some delightful Christian Ramírez quotes:

Explanation from PRO on the Torres yellow card in the 29th minute of ATXvDC:

"Facundo Torres was shown a yellow card after he failed to respect the distance for a D.C. United free kick."

Austin FC injury update: Taylor dealing with MCL sprain and might miss Charlotte, Desler on target to roster vs Charlotte, Owen may be out until FIFA break in late March, Vazquez on target for April still

Stat I just pulled up from the first half of ATX-DC ...

Uzuni has SIX first-half touches.

(Let's get him more involved, teammates!)

We've got our first MoC sighting of the 2026 Austin FC season, just two games in

This means one thing: We're getting a Pantalones ad at halftime for sure

Are there any more shirts left?

It’s supplemental!

I have something coming in my next article that will slay you then

Arcade Fire might be up there

'It's just two points lost for me': Austin FC reflects on a cruel defensive lapse spoiling a promising performance Austin FC players felt they were the better team on Saturday night against Minnesota. An unlucky injury led to the 90th-minute goal that turned three points into one.

It was a weird end to a match showing a lot of offensive promise for Austin FC

Still, though, as multiple players said, two points lost:

Early candidates for funniest goal and assist of the year (Uzuni goal; Kelsy assist on Lassiter goal)

Highlights of Nico Estévez press conference so far: Equalizer happened in part because of a Robert Taylor knee injury messing with planned sub, and Biro/Sabovic held out for culture building reasons following red cards in last preseason match; they’ll be back next week

At the Whistle: Austin FC 2, Minnesota United FC 2 An opening goal from Brendan Hines-Ike and a surprising (in how it ensued) goal from Myrto Uzuni was almost enough to seal a second straight opening day win. But then came the 90th minute.

It’s the first draw for Verde in six opening days. Goals for Hines-Ike (!) and an Uzuni body part, but a late Kelvin Yeboah equalizer sends Austin FC fans home disappointed

Cue Kevin Kline in “A Fish Called Wanda”: “DisapPOINTed!”

An early thing to ask about; Biro and Sabovic both got red cards against SKC in the last preseason match and neither are in the lineup tonight 👀

A solid 2023 Sebastián Driussi (is that solid?)

Probably an injury then

That would make more sense but I have also been witness to this preseason

Update: They have put my daughter in goal

It’s not just opening day for MLS (they gave her the No. 10 jersey; we’ll see how this works out)
