Player ratings

Damion Downs runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 29. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Dorados come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and St. Louis CITY SC did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Match

Austin FC take the points off St. Louis CITY SC

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Tempers go at St. Louis CITY SC

Kyle Hiebert was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

DeAndre Johnson signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” DeAndre Johnson commits to St. Louis CITY SC for another 3 years.

Squad

No hiding place for Lukas MacNaughton

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Lukas MacNaughton, and the manager let it.

Market

St. Louis CITY SC say no — this time

The offer from Sivasspor for Marcel Hartel was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Sergio Córdova runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 26. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Marcel Hartel stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Marcel Hartel and St. Louis CITY SC agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Marcel Hartel in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at St. Louis CITY SC this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The terraces

St. Louis CITY SC supporters have found a favourite in Damion Downs

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Damion Downs has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Market

St. Louis CITY SC promote Sean Pepi from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Sean Pepi has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

One of our own: Owen Aaronson joins the St. Louis CITY SC first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Owen Aaronson is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Match

St. Louis CITY SC see off San Jose Earthquakes

Three points for St. Louis CITY SC, 1‑0 the final word against San Jose Earthquakes in a contest settled by the finer margins.
