Diego Rubio On Target For Austin FC In First Win Of The Season As Inter Miami Share Spoils With New York City FC
Written by Patrick Echatah
Austin FC’s lengthy winless streak has finally come to an end.
More Details
The Verde & Black’s most recent victory occurred almost six months ago on October 4, 2023, when they defeated D.C. United 3-0. However, a run of 0W-3L-4D dating back to the previous campaign came to an end on Saturday night at Q2 Stadium thanks to a 2-1 victory over FC Dallas, a Texas rival.
Josh Wolff said that Austin’s early-season difficulties weren’t due to a lack of effort, but a couple winning streaks over the team’s first few games of the year ultimately led to Saturday night’s victory.
“They work hard. That’s never a question. They work hard for each other. They work hard for the fans,” Austin’s head coach said. “Today was a much more complete game from start to finish.”
A positive step was taken on Saturday, opening the door for a chance to win two straight games when the San Jose Earthquakes visit the city on April 6 (8:30 pm).
“Our goal is to make the playoffs. We know how challenging that is,” Wolff said. “Last year was challenging, but this is 2024 and we have a group that’s ready to compete.
“Last year’s last year … we won a game, we want to come out next week and win the next game. We focus on the next opponent and our process … we stick to our script and go to work.”

Meanwhile…
On Saturday night, Inter Miami and New York City FC drew 1-1, putting their 4-0 loss to the New York Red Bulls in the past.
In order to recover for Inter’s upcoming CONCACAF Champions Cup encounter midweek, Lionel Messi did not play. After gaining a point, Miami is now ranked second in the Eastern Conference, while NYCFC is ranked fourteenth after only four games played.
At home, Miami got off to a fast start as Luis Suarez gave them the lead in the 14th minute. Jordi Alba made a mistake at the back, though, and Miami’s advantage was gone in just 20 minutes. Keaton Parks sent the ball to Alonso Martinez, who scored an incredible right-footed goal to knot the score at one.
