Yesterday, AustinFC followed up its season-opening victory with a 5-1 dismissal of another middling Eastern Conference foe.
with a 5-1 dismissal of another middling Eastern Conference foe, Inter Miami CF. Sebastián Driussi and Ethan Finlay each netted a pair of goals and Julio Cascante chipped in with one as Austin FC set an MLS record for the most goals scored in the first two matches of a season in league history.
With his second and third goals and second assist on the young season, the 26-year-old Argentine thrust himself into the early MVP-watch discussion, with some help from ESPN color commentator and former U.S. national teamer Taylor Twellman, who repeatedly labeled Driussi a top-five player in the league. Driussi’s coach, Josh Wolff, said after the match that the midfielder’s potential is limitless.
Driussi put away the opening goal in the 22nd minute, charging into the 18-yard box to meet a Diego Fagundez cross and volley it into the net. Fagundez finished with a pair of assists in his 300th career MLS match; the 27-year-old is the youngest ever to achieve that milestone by roughly three years.
The only blemish for El Tree came just seconds later, when an Alex Ring giveaway led to Miami’s sole goal, courtesy of Leo Campana. The play conjured bad memories of a season ago when the club too often gave the ball away needlessly while trying to build out from the back. But unlike a season ago when such a mistake would typically cost Austin FC a result, this time it was only a footnote thanks to the club’s offensive production.
