Austin FC Hosts Real Salt Lake in Final Home Match of May

AUSTIN, Texas — Austin FC will host Real Salt Lake on Wednesday, May 28, in their final home match of May. The game kicks off at 7:30 p.m. CT at Q2 Stadium. Fans can watch the match in English or Spanish on MLS Season Pass via Apple TV.

Last weekend, Austin FC drew 1-1 with Minnesota United FC at Allianz Field. Defender Žan Kolmanič scored his first career goal for the club, assisted by Jon Gallagher, Osman Bukari, and Myrto Uzuni. Midfielder Mikkel Desler returned to action, playing for the first time since a hamstring injury suffered in March.

This match against Real Salt Lake marks the first meeting between the two teams this season. The last encounter ended in a 2-2 draw in September 2024 at Q2 Stadium. Austin FC has played a busy schedule in May, with this game being their eighth out of nine matches. They secured victories in both U.S. Open Cup matches at home this month and are looking to gain three points before traveling to face San Diego FC this weekend.

Real Salt Lake is coming off a 3-2 loss against conference leaders Vancouver Whitecaps, where forward Zavier Gozo scored for the first time. Although RSL initially took a 2-0 lead, they couldn’t maintain it, as Vancouver equalized and scored a late winner.

Currently, Real Salt Lake sits 12th in the Western Conference with a record of 4 wins, 9 losses, and 2 draws. Diego Luna leads the team with eight goals and three assists in 14 appearances. He will attempt to breach the Austin net, where goalkeeper Brad Stuver currently ranks third in MLS for clean sheets this season.
