Austin FC are looking to improve their impressive away record as they visit the Minnesota United squad on Saturday as they enjoy their comeback.
Austin FC (14-5-6, 48 points) beat Sporting's Kansas City at home on Wednesday with his 4-3 come-from-behind win, making the Western his 2nd in his conference. I have secured my position.
At half-time he was led 3–1, but Julio Cacante scored in the 63rd minute and Danny Hosen equalized in the 85th minute. Sebastian Driussi scored his MLS-leading 17th goal in stoppage time of the second half to take the win.

His eight wins for Austin FC tie his MLS lead with the New York Red Bulls. Austin FC are undefeated with his five wins in his last six away games, during which he outscores his opponents 11-3.
Fourth-placed Minnesota United (11-9-5, 38 points) has a challenging win last Sunday with his 2-1 victory over Nashville SC.
That win came as team-leading scorer Emmanuel Reynoso, influential attacker Robin Lord and defender Michael Boxall all came out for card-stopping his 8th. It followed his first loss in eight games of 4-3 against Colorado on March 8.
Another encouraging Sunday came from Minnesota United goalkeeper Dane St. Clair. Bolstered by his good performance in the MLS All-Star Game against Nashville SC, he kept his level in the game with seven saves and set up a late winner for Alan Benitez.
"I know that leaving Colorado was definitely not my best performance. It was definitely my worst performance of the season," St. Clair said. . "So being able to put in an MVP performance in the All-Star Game and then build on that and go to the club again is paramount. Reinoso assisted both goals for Minnesota in the win." He has scored 6 of 9 goals and assisted 6 of 8 in his last seven games, while the club have scored 17 points in their last eight games.
