Club América vs. Austin FC ｜ Leagues Cup ｜ Full Match Highlights

His big body in the frame of the goal, chances will come. Look, it's a powerhouse club that are strong in every position of the pitch. Those two floating gives Brian Vasquez options to play off of. The striker is still without a goal in nine games since returning from injury. Yellow fever around here. Something special about Club America coming to town. Two teams fixed on the quarterfinals of League's Cup. Soccer time in the Lone Star State. America in all yellow. Changed uniform for Austin. Well, some teams that weren't perfect through the first couple of matches, you thought, well, that was it for them. But given Cincinnati and Charlottesville stumbled in their third matches, they left the door open. It's really opened it up, hasn't it? This cross is deflected. And then the header from Cardenas. He just couldn't quite get the purchase on it. Uncomfortable for Stuber in the end. That's always going to be difficult. It's lofted in off the deflection. Difficult to generate enough power. He's had it again. Hasn't quite broken free yet. But Rodriguez, he's always in the mind. Ocundo Torres off on one of those runs. And that will be a free kick. And then Pachuca punishing them for it. Atlas coming from behind to beat Cincinnati. Gallagher's cross into the box. And the header is comfortably saved from Pachuca. There's Izzouni in there. That's more like it. It's the first time that we've seen Gallagher getting down the width and being able to offer a service into the area. It's a flexible Gallagher, isn't he? He'll play anywhere. He's been playing as a right-sided center back of late. Violante now at the other end of the field for Club America. Chipped into the back post. And Sanchez was lurking. But that's such good defending again from Djordjevic. Just to make sure that he's protecting. Here we go with the second half. From the Lone Star State. With Austin playing from left to right. The all purple kit tonight. All yellow for Club America. The nominated home team for this game. Immediately the referee called into action. Ervin Torres with the foul. Free kick Club America. No changes from either side at half time. And how long they'll wait. Another free kick. Lowered a little bit for Club America. Nosed up a bit for Austin. Prospects of a penalty shootout now quite high. Penalties wouldn't bother either side. Because in those scenarios they're both going to get through. And they win or lose them. But the seedings for the quarterfinals might drop as a result. Alvarez. And that one's gone all the way through and in. That's Club America. They send runners going across that front post. Which then drags Austin players. And they're making sure their man doesn't touch the ball. But Silva is completely fooled. Because he's waiting for any kind of suction. It's a late dive. He's waiting for that ball to finish going through the players. Those moves at Ervin Torres. Perhaps a little further up. We'll see how it starts to settle in. Violante. Had a look, surveyed the scene. He's in Rodríguez. Square for the shot. Repels. Here's Cervantes. Here's the free kick. Punched away. I'm not sure he's going to let that go. And so Boa now looks upfield. And who's going to make the smarter changes? Ervin Torres's cross. Vázquez was there. This is Azuni. And he's going to the corner. And he's found it! A credit to David Arnault. Because he switched things around. Which brought Ervin Torres a little wider. A little further up. And that's one of the first balls that we've seen threatened. He's got numbers in the box to hit Torres. And it's caused chaos for Kota. It can only just help it on. And from there, it's on to the wrong player for Club America. But mister right in Austin. Azuni. Banged the hat trick last game. Look how he gets it out of his feet. Sets it up nicely. And just caresses it. It's a wonderful technique. Wraps his foot around it. And Kota is left. The substitute Vega over this free kick. And the header is wide! Oh, Cáceres. He's had such a good game. And he climbed so well. The height is right. It's an in-swinger. And Cáceres, he has the running jump. Zlatan, he can't even jump with him. Because Cáceres, he's... Now Perea. Here come America. And it's wide. Just, just wide. He was hit by Arriaga. The two substitutes for Club America. Look, there's only ever going to make a difference. Perea driving forward or... I mean, it should be. As Arriaga... Vega to take it. And it's headed away. Gallo in there. And with that, the referee blows his whistle. We finish the 90 minutes with a 1-1 scoreline. And that's a great finish. Away from the outstretched arm of Kota. It was a lengthy stare down before Rosales made a move. And Kota didn't move. He waited to see which way Rosales was... And he sends it into that corner as well. And Stuber the wrong way. And it's 1-1. He didn't give anything away. And that last second, look how he closes his hips. Just snaps across it. It's disgusting. For Austin to retake the lead in the shootout. Oh, that was nice. Cool, calm, collected. He's changing up the pace. A little off speed comes into it. Kota, this time, he's guessing. And Zabovic, he just... To draw Club America level again. Oh, it barely... Well, he looks like a calm man now. But for a moment there... Cristian Ramirez of Austin. He slots it away as well. Few of them have liked that corner. Kota's timing of when he can dive. Look how he slowly starts to come and then sprints through. Just to tie it up. He went for power. He went high. Great penalty. We listen well here as Stuva... The result of this penalty shootout can still change everything in terms of you ceding to the quarterfinal. It matters. Izzouni scores. He doesn't do delicate. As the run-up comes through. Could be a pivotal one. Stuva against Caceres. Here he comes. Oh, he smashes that into the roof of the net as well. And we are at 4-4. And he's got eyes on Stuva as he's coming up. If they could score this, the pressure would really be on Club America. He does. He kept his nerve. Catching his breath before he stepped up. But closes his hips. This to keep the shootout going for Club America. Oh, and he's done brilliantly. Almost a no-look about that one. Club America and Austin. And Stuva. He's pretending as though he's going to go. But he's waiting. And another good finish. Giving the goalkeeper very little chance. And again. Both Koda and Stuva. He's got to score. And he hasn't. And the shootout. Starts to come back a little bit. He hesitates. And Stuva doesn't budge.
