The Verde and Black played like a cohesive unit, controlling the ball for two-thirds of the match, out-passing the Whitecap better than two-to-one (658 to 302), and competing 88% of those passes. 

Brad Stuver posted his third clean sheet of the season, facing 12 shots from the Whitecaps, 1 on-target. 

Austin improves its home record to 8-1-1 in the last 10 games, dating to last season.
