St. Louis City SC Ties MLS Record with Fourth Consecutive Shutout

Eduard Löwen's free-kick goal secures a 1-0 victory over an injury-depleted Seattle Sounders team.

  • St. Louis City SC achieved their fourth consecutive shutout to start the MLS season, matching a league record set by the 2007 New York Red Bulls and 2012 Vancouver Whitecaps.
  • Eduard Löwen scored the match's only goal in the 15th minute with a precise 25-yard free kick following a Seattle defensive miscue.
  • Backup goalkeeper Ben Lundt made his first MLS start and recorded a clean sheet, replacing injured starter Roman Bürki, who broke a bone in his hand during training.
  • Seattle Sounders, missing key players including Jordan Morris, Paul Arriola, and Pedro de la Vega due to injuries, managed only one shot on goal despite controlling 65% of possession.
  • The Sounders were denied a late penalty in stoppage time after a video review determined the ball had hit midfielder Obed Vargas' hand before he was fouled.
