Owen Wolff's corner kick was redirected back toward him before chipped an entry pass to Biro, who went up high and headed home a finish from the edge of the 6-yard box. New York's Emil Forsberg chipped a shot from the left side into the area that was headed into the net by Vázquez for an own goal that made it 1-1 in the 23rd. New York (8-7-3) had its three-game win streak — its longest of the season — snapped and the Red Bulls are 1-6-2 on the road this season. Brad Stuver had one save for Austin.

Austin FC returns to the pitch for its 2025 season
Austin FC this weekend is launching its fifth campaign with a new coach, new players and new jerseys. Why it matters: After a second consecutive losing season in 2024, franchise owners spent big to bring in fresh talent. The ownership group ponied up more than $25 million in transfer fees during the offseason, looking to add firepower to the attack and shore up the midfield. The big picture: It's up to coach Nico Estévez, who helmed FC Dallas for parts of three seasons with mixed results, to get the most out of an array of talented players. Catch up quick: The Verde and Black signed two proven goal scorers, Brandon Vázquez from Mexican team CF Monterrey and Myrto Uzuni from Granada CF, in the second tier Spanish league. 20-year-old midfielder Nicolás Dubersarsky, who was playing in the top league in Argentina, signed a five-year contract, and veteran midfielder Ilie Sánchez is on board for one year. The intrigue: Even as coach Josh Wolff was fired, the team signed his son, midfielder Owen Wolff, to a contract extension. State of play: Other returning players to watch: Wingers Osman Bukari and Jáder Obrian, midfielder Dani Pereira, defenders Leo Väisänen, Jon Gallagher and Mikkel Desler, and fan favorite goalkeeper Brad Stuver. Among the players not returning: all-time team scoring leader Sebastián Druissi, former team captain Alex Ring and Gyasi Zardes, the 10th leading scorer in MLS history. Fun fact: Austin FC players hail from 17 countries on four continents. The latest: Austin FC scored four goals in four preseason games against MLS teams, suggesting the team has a ways to go to find scoring combinations. Reality check: Austin is tied for 19th among the 30 teams for futures odds of winning the MLS Cup. What's next: The Verde and Black open the season Saturday at home against Sporting Kansas City. Kickoff is at 7:30. Tickets start at $34.
