St. Louis CITY SC has matched an MLS record and now has a chance to move to the top of the Western Conference.
The club extended its unbeaten run to 20 matches across all competitions with a 6-2 win over the LA Galaxy on Sunday at Energizer Park. Carlo Holse sparked the surge with a hat trick in the first 21 minutes, helping CITY turn the match into another convincing result.
The 20-match run ties the MLS record set by Red Bull New York in 2016. While the streak covers all competitions rather than league play alone, it still underlines how consistent St. Louis CITY SC has been during this stretch.
That consistency matters even more with Vancouver next on the schedule. St. Louis CITY SC will face the Whitecaps on Wednesday at Energizer, and a win would lift CITY into first place. The article does not say where the teams stand now, but the opportunity is clear: beat Vancouver and take over the top spot.
The timing also adds to the weight of the week. One week after the match against Vancouver, St. Louis CITY SC is scheduled to play Columbus in the US Open Cup final, giving the club a quick turnaround from a conference race to a trophy match.
For now, the headline is simple. St. Louis CITY SC is unbeaten in 20 straight, and the next result could change the standings.
