St louis city sc vs portland timbers

St. Louis, MO - 07/13/2025 - St. Louis City SC held off the rain and the Portland Timbers on their way to a much needed 3 points in front of another sellout crowd at Energizer Park Sunday Night. With his first MLS brace Marcel Hartel led City to an impressive 2-1 win over a Timbers team sitting in 5th place in the Western Conference.

After a quick start by City with 3 early shot attempts in the first 10 minutes the Timbers weathered the storm. David Da Costa would put Portland up 1-0 in the 19th minute off a great run in by him and a defensive miscue from City. The score would remain tied through the end of the first half with Roman Burki making a key save late on Da Costa again.

The second half would start the same way the first half ended with a Burki save in a De Costa shot attempt. City would ride that momentum to Hartel’s first goal to tie the game in the 54th minute. A moment City fans have been waiting for happened in the 66th minute when Eduard Lowen was subbed on. Lowen who has been slated for limited minutes before the match made a noticeable impact to the confidence of the City players. Lowen’s set piece attempt in the 67th minute directly led to Hartel’s second goal and City’s final 2-1 lead.

City Positive notes: Defender Jaziel Orozco making his second straight start was pretty solid. Clearing a ball off the line and pushing up field when he found the space. Josh Yaro who was frustrated after the Timbers early goal refocused and had what I would say a fantastic second half.

Negatives: Celio Pompeu would leave the game in the second half with what looked like a shoulder injury.

What’s next: City travels to Dallas for a matchup with FC Dallas who has lost 4 straight but still sits 3 points above St. Louis

St. Louis City SC vs seattle sounders

St Louis, MO - St. Louis City SC (2-2-0) welcomed the Seattle Sounders (1-1-2) to Energizer Park on Saturday March 15th, 2025 to a sellout crowd of 22,422. This was a physical game with both sides wanting to get to their style of play. Eduard Lowen put City SC up early with a stunning free kick goal in just the 17th minute. While Seattle dominated the possession game after that goal, but still was unable to get past late replacement goaltender Ben Lundt for City SC. Lundt was a late replacement for Roman Burki who had suffered a broken hand in training. Burki had led the club to 3 consecutive clean sheets, and with the help of Lundt City SC made it 4 clean sheets to start the year. The Sounders came in also dealing with multiple injuries to start their season as well. Paul Arriola suffered a season ending ACL team in their last match against the Cruz Azul in their Champions Cup.

City SC will travel next to Philadelphia to take on the Union. The Sounders will play host to Houston for their next matchup.
