Austin FC II fell 2-0 against Houston Dynamo 2 on Thursday night at Shell Energy Stadium.
Both of Houston's goals came from corner kicks, with Obafemi Awodesu heading the hosts in front on 36 minutes and David Garcia sealing the result late on. Between those two moments, Austin was unlucky not to score themselves. Bryan Arellano cleverly created space for himself in the 67th minute only to see his curling effort hit the post. Micah Burton cleaned up the rebound but was adjudged to be offside.
The Verde & Black played the final 16 minutes with 10 men after Anthony De Anda was shown a red card.
