Austin drew 1-1 with San Jose Earthquakes at Q2 Stadium on Sunday in Major League Soccer's Regular Season matchday 23, with Guilherme Biro's goal deep in stoppage time cancelling out Beau Leroux's earlier opener for the visitors.

San Jose Earthquakes took the lead in the eighth minute through Leroux and held that advantage into the interval, going into the break with their one-goal lead intact. Austin were unable to find a response in the first half, trailing 0-1 at the half-time whistle.

The second half remained goalless until deep into stoppage time, when Biro struck in the 90th-plus minutes to secure a share of the points for the hosts. It brought the contest to an end at 1-1, with neither side able to find a winner.

The draw leaves Austin in 14th place in the 30-team MLS table, with seven draws from their 23 matches and a record of six wins, seven draws and ten defeats, accumulating 25 points. Their goals tally stands at 29 scored and 42 conceded, and their last five results read: drawn, won, drawn, won, lost. Austin are mid-table in the standings.

San Jose Earthquakes, meanwhile, sit sixth in the table — in the top third of the 30-team division — after 23 matches. They have won ten, drawn five and lost eight, giving them 35 points from a goals record of 40 scored and 34 conceded. Their last five results read: drawn, drawn, lost, lost, lost. The two sides are separated by ten points in the standings.
