St. Louis CITY SC shutout Seattle Sounders 1-0 on Saturday night to earn their fourth consecutive shutout and second win in a row. St. Louis’ attack was quickly rolling as Eduard Löwen found the back of the net in the 16th minute off a free kick. The goal was Löwen’s first of the season and the first-ever goal at the newly renamed Energizer Park. CITY’s defense maintained the 1-0 lead throughout the match and helped Ben Lundt earn his first career MLS clean sheet and win. St. Louis CITY SC’s next match will be the team’s inaugural meeting against Philadelphia Union on Saturday, March 22, at 6:30 p.m. CT from Subaru Park.
