St. Louis City SC is currently riding its best months since its first season in the league in 2023, extending its unbeaten streak to five matches across all competitions by defeating Austin FC, 3-0. They took the 1-0 lead in the 40th minute off an own goal from Austin defender Guilherme Biro. Three players made their marks today, entering the game with Fallou Fall scoring his first career goal in the 56th minute, to give City SC a 2-0 lead in the second half. Goalie Ben Lundt, who replaced the injured Roman Burki, made his season debut, had two saves, and earned his first clean sheet of the 2026 season and third in his MLS career.

The final goal of the match came when Daniel Edelman scored his first goal of the season with City SC to cap the scoring in the 90th minute, earning the club’s second shutout of the 2026 MLS regular season. Austin, early in the week, fired coach Nico Estévez and sporting director Rodolfo Borrell on Monday has lost three consecutive games and is winless in four straight games. Meanwhile, City SC is currently on a five-match unbeaten streak across all competitions, earning four wins and one draw since early May 2026. With their win, City SC jumped ahead of both Austin and Portland in the Western Conference standings and sits in 12th place with 16 points. The club will return to action following the World Cup break, facing Sporting Kansas City on Thursday, July 16 at Energizer Park with kickoff set for 7:30 p.m. CT.
