AUSTIN, Texas – Diego Rubio’s 93rd-minute equalizer earned Austin FC a point in a 1-1 draw against Real Salt Lake on Wednesday night at Q2 Stadium.
Brandon Vazquez hit the crossbar in the 22nd minute with a headed chance which Osman Bukari created from the right flank. Jon Gallagher then forced RSL goalkeeper Rafael Cabral to make a close-range save later in the first half.
The visitors found the net in the 67th minute as Diego Luna set up Willy Agada for a second half tally.
