Christian Ramirez’s brace lifts Austin FC to 2-1 victory over Vancouver Whitecaps
Christian Ramirez scored twice as Austin FC beat Vancouver Whitecaps 2-1 on Sunday. One of Ramirez's goals came in the 28th minute, while his second goal arrived in the 60th minute. Brian White equalized for the Whitecaps in the 49th minute, giving the game a 1-1 scoreline. Earlier in the match, Vancouver had a penalty kick awarded to them in the 39th minute after Besard Sabovic pulled Ryan Gauld down inside the penalty area, but the kick glanced off the crossbar.
The game was physical, with both teams committing fouls leading to several yellow cards. Despite Vancouver dominating possession and shooting more frequently, they could not secure the win without Ramirez's two goals.
