Even with a couple of matches when they didn't score in there, Verde's scored 12 goals in the last seven matches — a definite improvement over the early part of the season.
Last summer, Austin FC brought in a trio of players who now start regularly. But have they improved from 2024 to 2025?
In three straight matches, Austin FC's had a penalty called against them and a goal scored against them as a result. This time, it was consequential.
Verde had an excellent first half and a less-than-excellent final phase, leading to the first draw in the clubs' five-year history.
We've got three questions answered from an expert on the Dynamo, and we've thrown in a link to the latest Emergency Podcast (which has a one-act play within). Oh, and it's Verde All Day's birthday today!

Only one MLS goalkeeper — who is currently platooning in the starting role — is above Brad Stuver in the current G+ tally for goalkeepers. But what does that mean exactly?

Verde didn't need a last-minute miracle delivered by Pollo, running out to a two-goal lead and keeping at least that margin throughout the second half despite a late PK.
