Austin FC has not scored in its two home games, but the expansion team held the Columbus Crew to a 0-0 tie on Sunday.
Former Crew goalkeeper Brad Stuver made six saves, but Austin (2-5-4, 10 points) has not scored in its last three matches overall and has been shutout in six of the past seven games. Austin has four losses and four ties in its past eight games.
Eloy Room had five saves for the Crew (4-3-3, 15 points).
Stuver was stellar in the second half with three saves on Lucas Zelarayan, the best coming in the 47th minute.

Changing the name of the defending MLS Cup champions would be a baffling decision in itself, but within the context of the Columbus Crew, and everything the Crew name stands for, it was even more bemusing.
The Columbus Crew community and wider supporter base are familiar with such threats to their club, having faced even bigger challenges in the past.
It wasn’t that long ago that the very existence of their team was under threat from a previous owner, Anthony Precourt, who wanted to move the “franchise” to Austin, Texas.
