Austin FC is at least keeping the end of its MLS season interesting.
For the second straight week, the Verde and Black pulled out points in the match's final moments, this time using Guilherme Biro's goal to earn a 1-1 draw Saturday with the San Jose Earthquakes at Q2 Stadium.
And while Austin FC is still five points out of the ninth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference with two months and 11 contests to go, it turned in another solid performance that indicates it should be in every match the rest of the way.
Here are four key takeaways from the contest as Austin FC (6-10-7, 25 points, 14th West) has a quick turnaround with a Wednesday home match against Colorado.
Credit has to be given to Brandon Vazquez and Christian Ramírez for their short passes in the box that eventually got the ball to him, but Biro was the one who put the ball past Earthquakes goalie Angus Gunn from a tough angle. Gunn had been brilliant most of the night, but in the sixth minute of stoppage time and one of the final kicks of the game, Biro came through in the clutch.
