With seconds to spare in overtime, Colorado Rapids’ forward Diego Rubio leapt up like a gazelle, and used his head to score and tie an enviable Austin team that is heading into the MLS Playoffs. The outcome was a conciliation prize for the team and a milestone for Rubio, who scored a career-high 16 goals in a single season.
When the final whistle blew and the Burgundy Boys high-hopes 2022 campaign formally concluded, the wasted season was tossed in the privy and finally flushed away.
Good riddance and never again in the lifetime of today’s loyal fans.
