Austin FC Faces LAFC in Crucial Match for Top-Seven Finish Amid Noche Verde Celebration

  • The match is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. CT at Q2 Stadium and coincides with Austin FC’s final regular season home game, which will feature the Noche Verde celebration honoring fans.

  • Austin FC is coming off a 3-1 loss to St. Louis City SC but has a good recent record against LAFC, including a 1-0 victory in March, with key players like Owen Wolff contributing significantly.

  • Fans can stream the match via MLS Season Pass on Apple TV or listen to local radio broadcasts in English on iHeart Radio’s Alt 97.5 and in Spanish on Univision’s TUDN Radio Austin.

  • Owen Wolff, a standout for Austin FC with 11 assists and a spot on the MLS 22 Under 22 list, is expected to be a key player in their upcoming match, which could help the team secure a top-six spot to avoid the Wild Card Game.

  • Austin FC, having already qualified for the MLS Cup Playoffs, aims to secure a top-seven finish and a guaranteed spot in Round One with a win against LAFC on October 12, 2025.

  • LAFC, currently on a six-match winning streak, is led by striker Son Heung-min and Denis Bouanga, who have scored 18 goals in seven matches together before both missing this game due to international duty.
