The Aztexan

Yay! We won! This post is late, and I barely have time to throw even this much together, let alone wax poetic about the win. So I'll have to leave it at: Yay! We won!

Here's a rundown of post-match coverage:

• Key breaks finally fall Aztex' way in shutout — Austin American-Statesman
  

  Sullivan Silva combined well with [Kyle] Brown on the edge of the Miami box, releasing the forward with a well-weighted ball. Brown then cut the ball back across the Miami six-yard box, where under heavy pressure from the lurking Eddie Johnson, defender Gale Agbossoumonde missed his attempted clearance, allowing Johnson to smash the ball into the roof of the net.

  Austin looked shaky the first 10 minutes of the match Saturday against Miami.
  
  But Austin forward Eddie Johnson, playing through a back injury, finally settled down the home side scoring an early goal that held up for a much-needed 1-0 victory.
  
  The win is Austin’s first in 10 games, a streak that stretches back to July 3.
  
  “They deserved three points on about three or four different occasions,” Aztex head coach Adrian Heath said. “We’ve played better at times and didn’t get the result. … I’m pleased that the players have gotten some reward for the effort they’ve put in.”

The Aztex have a flurry of games here in the final 2 weeks of the season: one more against Miami FC (at Miami) and two more against the Vancouver Whitecaps (both at Vancouver) and two more against the Portland Timbers (one at Portland and one here). That all starts midweek this week, with road game at Vancouver on Wednesday night.
