AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Sebastián Driussi scored in the 87th minute, Brad Stuver recorded his fourth clean sheet and Austin beat the Houston Dynamo 1-0 on Wednesday night for its second series victory this season.

Austin (5-4-4) earned its fourth straight home victory and fifth clean sheet of the season.

Houston (5-5-2) has just one win in its last five games, a stretch that includes a three-game winless skid.

Austin had two shots go off target in the first 20 minutes when Diego Rubio’s shot came off the crossbar and Alex Ring’s shot bounced off the post.

Driussi scored his fourth goal of the season, a team high, by recovering a loose ball following a corner.

The announced attendance of 20,738 marked the 60th consecutive MLS sellout for Austin, extending the league’s longest active streak.
