"Although it seemed like both sides would have to settle for a draw, Wolff headed home from close range after a corner was kindly deflected into his path at the back post. "It's a great feeling," the 20-year-old told MLS Season Pass. "It's to the fans as well. They come out every night and support us every single game, no matter how it goes. So, it's for them as well. "Usually I'm on [corner kicks] so I'm just trying to find any type of space. Luckily, I'm at the right place at the right time.""
"LAFC saw both their six-game winning run and 10-match scoring streak come to an end in a quiet encounter in Austin. The visitors produced just 0.24 expected goals (xG) from five shots to Austin's 0.47 from three attempts, the lowest number of shots either side have registered in the league this season. Austin are now unbeaten in their last 33 games when taking the lead in MLS, dating back to a 2-1 loss to the Houston Dynamo in May 2023, and have avoided defeat in four consecutive league games against LAFC (W2, D2)."
Austin FC defeated Los Angeles FC 1-0 at Q2 Stadium to clinch an automatic playoff berth and guarantee sixth place in the West. Owen Wolff scored seven minutes from time, heading home a corner that had been deflected to his path at the back post. Both teams were missing key scorers on international duty—Denis Bouanga and Son Heung-min for LAFC and Myrto Uzuni for Austin—resulting in a low-quality attacking display with just four shots on target. LAFC’s six-game winning run and 10-match scoring streak ended, while Austin extended an unbeaten run of 33 matches when leading in MLS and have avoided defeat in four straight league meetings with LAFC.
