The Aztexan

Hot on the heels of their 2-1 upset of the Portland Timbers, the Aztex head north of the border for their final game of the 2009 season. They'll face the Vancouver Whitecaps on Sunday evening, Sept. 13, at 6:00 CT. Watch the game free on USLLive.com.

The Whitecaps are currently in the 7th and last playoff slot, though they haven't punched their ticket yet. They have 2 games remaining: the Aztex on Sunday and the Cleveland City Stars next Friday.

Vancouver is 1-1-1 in their last three, which includes their 3-2 win over Austin just a week and a half ago. Most recently, they're coming off a 1-0 loss to the Montreal Impact, in Montreal (match report / box score).

The Aztex have not yet won (or even tied) on Canadian soil. But Miguel Gallardo looked as good as ever in goal against Portland, and the Austin offense is starting to spark. Coming into this game fresh from their giant-killing win and with nothing to lose, they may well check that "first" off their list this weekend.

Get 'em Aztex!
