AUSTIN, Texas — The Major League Soccer game between LAFC and Austin FC was postponed Saturday because of inclement weather. “The decision was made due to severe weather impacting the safety of travel in Central Texas and with guidance from relevant local authorities,” Austin FC said in a statement.

It's another game likely to have big consequences in Austin FC's ongoing hunt for a playoff spot. The Verde and LAFC — along with the Colorado Rapids — sit level on 26 points. LAFC holds the best goal difference among that bunch, and sits in seventh place as a result. Austin FC occupies ninth place and the final playoff spot that comes with it.
