St. Louis, the new kids on the block, will gain confidence by defeating SKC by an 8-1 aggregate score at CITYPARK in two regular season games. Still, the results haven’t all been positive of late, as they’ve lost two in a row (combined 5-0) after closing out the top seed in the West.
Throughout 2023, when CITY SC seemed to be on the decline, they have found a way – to establish several expansion club records and defy expectations of how this new midwestern team would fare in MLS. Sporting director Lutz Pfannenstiel and coach Bradley Carnell take full credit for working in unison, then stars like goalkeeper Roman Bürki, centre-back Tim Parker, midfielder Eduard Löwen and forward João Klauss giving their all on the pitch.
