It’s great to be back #MLSMondays. St. Louis CITY won a game. That means CITY scored more goals than their opponent.
Let’s dig into #STLvSJ and enjoy ourselves, as much as I can allow, with the small sample size of just 90 minutes in the sunshine.

Edu. Clutch 🤫
2-1 | #STLvSJ | #AllForCITY
Really funny way to get sent off, it must be said. #STLvSJ
90'+ | Wallem receives a second yellow...CITY will play with 10 men the rest of the match.
2-1 | #STLvSJ | #AllForCITY
LÖWEN FROM THE SPOT!
Absolute pandemonium at Energizer Park after Edu Löwen converts a PK, earned by Simon Becher, and puts @stlcitysc.com up 2-1 in stoppage time! #AllForCITY #STLvSJ
Löwen scores from the spot. 2-1, CITY. #ALLFORCITY #STLvSJ
90' | Becher taken down in the box. PK to CITY!
1-1 | #STLvSJ | #AllForCITY
A really bad couple of sequences back to back at 86' & 87' for Xande Silva as he's dispossessed on the right wing in space 1v1 and then loses possession in the final third as he tries to make a move in the right channel. #AllForCITY #STLvSJ
As the saying goes... the more thing change the more they stay the same sometimes. Tied game at 83'.
You have to hand it to both Vitor Costa for that perfect cross and Josef Martinz doing Josef things w/the perfect slide and touch to beat the CITY defenders. #AllForCITY #STLvSJ
83' | San Jose level.
1-1 | #STLvSJ | #AllForCITY
And when Becher/Morales came in, Totland moved over to RB w/Wallem taking LB and Morales moving into the CM role next to Löwen.
At 73', the first significant personnel movement after a sub under David Critchley. #AllForCITY #STLvSJ
73’ | A couple more changes 🔄
➡️ Becher and Morales
⬅️ Klauss and Zalinsky
1-0 | #STLvSJ | #AllForCITY
Tomas Totland has come on to play LB, a 1:1 sub for Jay Reid.
This marks Totland's first appearance at LB for @stlcitysc.com, though many might remember his club before CITY had him playing LB so we've known he could play both sides reliably. #AllForCITY #STLvSJ
62' | Welcome back, Tots!! 🙌
➡️ Totland
⬅️ Reid
1-0 | #STLvSJ | #AllForCITY
62' Tomas Totland returns, subbing for Jay Reid, to thunderous applause from the @stlcitysc.com faithful.
This is Totland's first game back since March 15 vs Seattle. #AllForCITY #STLvSJ
The 2H for #AllForCITY opened w/back to back shots from Silva and Célio before 50' but both arguably had options and each chose to take the shot. CITY still very much a 'direct to goal' team vs passing around the final third and looking for a window. #STLvSJ
46' | Halftime swap 👑
➡️ Kessler
⬅️ Durkin
1-0 | #STLvSJ | #AllForCITY
Kess for Durkin to start 2H. Love seeing Kess back and hope Durkin didn't overextend himself. He looked great on both sides of the ball and was a key reason our back 4 worked so well in the 1H. #AllForCITY #STLvSJ
HT #STLvSJ Thoughts: #AllForCITY
- Lots of possession, not lots of ooomph.
- Need Xande to balance the sides, all too familiar all left, all the time.
- Löwen & Bürki means kickball is gone.
- Hartel wasteful, expecting that to improvE.
- Kess for Durkin to see it out
Halftime for #STLvSJ and it's 1-0 @stlcitysc.com!
A match even in possession and w/notably more energy out of #AllForCITY, we've seen a defensively strong team w/4 in the back, fullbacks creating width in possession and a team using the aerial game to get those quick strike chances.
IT'S KLAUSS!!! 1-0 CITY!
In 1st half stoppage, it's Klauss with an absolutely clinical finish! Edu Löwen's long pass, Klauss winning it for himself and staying dialed in to stay on it and put it away past a SJ keeper who refused to come too far off his line. #AllForCITY #STLvSJ
41’ | Forced to make an early change.
➡️ Xande Silva
⬅️ Teuchert
0-0 | #STLvSJ | #AllForCITY
This one looked bad initially. Teuchert went to clear a ball w/a big kick and immediately went down w/a non contact injury that forced him to be subbed off for Silva. #AllForCITY #STLvSJ
Cedric Teuchert goes down in his own box at 40' and Xande Silva is quickly putting on his kit and receiving instructions. #AllForCITY #STLvSJ
