Christian Ramirez scored twice in a four-minute span late in the second half as host Austin FC forged a 3-3 draw with San Diego FC on Saturday in a crucial late-season Western Conference match.<\/p>\n

The Verde (7-10-10, 31 points) extended their unbeaten streak to eight matches (3-0-5). San Diego FC (8-11-8, 32 points) earned their second consecutive road draw but will lament not taking all three points after building a 3-0 lead 64 minutes into the match.<\/p>\n

Austin gave up three goals in a 14-minute stretch after halftime and looked dead in the water. But Ramirez and Brandon Vazquez, who scored the Verde\u2019s first goal to kickstart the comeback, dispelled that idea.<\/p>\n

Vazquez scored his first tally of the season in the 73rd minute when he dove to head home a stinging pass into the box by Ervin Torres, with a second assist given to Ilie Sanchez that culled the Verde\u2019s deficit to 3-1.<\/p>\n

Ramirez provided more hope when he headed a pass from Jon Bell into the bottom right corner in the 82nd minute past San Diego keeper Duran Ferree after a cross-box pass from Mikkel Desler. <\/p>\n

Then Ramirez produced the equalizer as he ran deep in the box to take a feed from Jon Gallagher in the 86th minute and buried the chance into the right side of the box.<\/p>\n

The Verde dominated the first half but had nothing to show for it as the game was scoreless at the break. San Diego, which did not record a shot in the first half, came out with a different attitude after halftime.<\/p>\n

Anibal Godoy was in the right place at the right time to pounce on the rebound of a pass into the goalmouth by Oscar Verhoeven in the 50th minute to put San Diego up 1-0.<\/p>\n

San Diego FC doubled their advantage seven minutes later as the Verde gave up an own goal by Desler. Cedric Bakambu headed a soft shot toward the Austin goal that Desler and Bell tried to clear but instead sent into their net as the pair ran into each other at the near post.<\/p>\n

It took just seven minutes for San Diego to score again. Anders Dreyer worked a give-and-go with Bakambu and then sent the return pass to Marcus Ingvartsen for a pretty goal and a 3-0 lead.<\/p>\n

Damian Las made three saves for Austin, and Ferree finished with two.
