Two of the youngest MLS clubs will go toe-to-toe at Q2 Stadium in Austin on Sunday. Inter Miami will hope to upset an Austin FC side that put five goals past Cincinnati last weekend. Miami will look to avenge a goalless draw with the Chicago Fire in their home opener at DRV PNK Stadium.
Matthew McConaughey sure knows how to get a crowd going. The American actor and Austin FC minority owner is a key figure for the club, and he displayed it last week humming the famous Wolf of Wall Street chant along with home fans at Q2 Stadium last weekend. Inter Miami will have a taste of their own medicine when dealing with a supportive home crowd.
Austin FC vs. Inter Miami: Players to watch
Austin FC – Sebastian Driussi
Sebastian Driussi was awarded man of the match in Austin’s 5-0 thrashing over Cincinnati. The 26-year-old Argentine forward is supported by left midfielder Cecilio Dominguez and midfielder Alex Ring. The three were heavily involved going forward, combining for four out of the five goals. Austin’s left flank will be a handful for Deandre Yedlin and company.
Inter Miami – Ariel Lassiter
Ariel Lassiter is not the first name that comes to mind when someone thinks about Inter Miami, but he’s slowly getting recognized for his efforts going up the pitch. The Costa Rican was key in Miami’s Carolina Challenge Cup win in preseason, with goals against the Columbus Crew and USL side Charleston Battery. Lassiter did not start against the Chicago Fire last Saturday, but he was electric going forward during the 33 minutes he was on the pitch. Start or not, Lassiter will be Miami’s wildcard heading into the game.
