Overview
- Vancouver overturned a 1-0 halftime deficit to beat Austin 2-1 after goals from Ryan Gauld and substitute Yadaly Diaby in the second half on Saturday.
- Myrto Uzuni opened the scoring in the 40th minute after a Vancouver turnover, but Gauld leveled in the 47th with a header set up by Emmanuel Sabbi and Édier Ocampo.
- Yadaly Diaby, introduced in the 65th minute, curled a long-range shot into the top corner in the 71st to secure the match-winning goal for Vancouver.
- The win snapped Vancouver’s four-match winless run, improved their strong road record, and featured four saves from goalkeeper Yohei Takaoka.
- Austin suffered a third straight defeat at Q2 Stadium, extended its poor recent home form and sits well outside the playoff spots with four games left, a situation interim coach Davy Arnaud publicly warned about.
