St. Louis City Shocks Fans and Pundits with Fifth Straight Win
St. Louis City, the newest team on the MLS block, continues to amaze fans and critics alike as they dominated Real Salt Lake in a 4-0 victory on Saturday. With five wins out of five matches, led by South African head coach Bradley Carnell, the team has come a long way from being discounted as potential underdogs.
Their latest win was both convincing and impressive, as the team scored four goals after a goalless first half. Nicholas Gioacchini kicked off the scoring two minutes into the second half, followed by two goals from Joao Klauss, who now has an impressive five goals in five games. Rasmus Alm sealed the deal with a goal in the 75th minute.
The win takes St. Louis City five points clear of their top rivals in the Western Conference, with the team boasting a maximum of 15 points from their first five matches ever. They become only the third team in MLS history to achieve this feat and have a remarkable +11 goal difference, setting a record for new franchises.
The team’s upcoming matches with Western Conference franchises Minnesota and Seattle Sounders are bound to be testing, but for now, St. Louis City is enjoying the fruits of their labor and have a first-rate chance of continuing their winning streak.
