St Louis CITY2 opened CITYPARK Wednesday night -- the first match at the new St. Louis MLS stadium. It was a dream come true for many soccer fans in the St. Louis region.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen scored three unanswered goals to earn the victory on the night.
The first goal came in the 36th minute with Callum Hudson-Odoi tapping in from close range to give Bayer 04 Leverkusen the lead. CITY2's closest chance came in the 39th minute when Eduard Löwen rattled the crossbar from a freekick just outside the box. Six minutes later, Adam Hložek doubled the scoring for the visitors, who took a 2-0 lead into the halftime break. Hložek grabbed his second, and Bayer Leverkusen’s third, of the night in the 51st minute.
CITY2 finishes the season with the Western Conference postseason title.
