The Houston Dynamo dealt what almost certainly will amount to a death blow to Austin FC’s MLS Cup Playoff chances, handing the Verde and Black a 1-0 defeat at Q2 Stadium Saturday night. In reality, though, Austin FC has no one to blame but themselves.

This simply isn’t Austin FC’s season.  In what was probably its last gasp to remain in the MLS playoff race, the Verde & Black fell 1-0 to Houston Dynamo FC on Saturday night at Q2 Stadium.
