Simon Becher And Tomas Ostrak Strike Late As St. Louis City SC Demolish New York Red Bulls 3-0
St. Louis City SC produced a commanding performance on Wednesday night, defeating the New York Red Bulls 3-0 at Harrison, New Jersey.
Simon Becher and Tomas Ostrak both found the net late in the second half to seal a convincing victory for the visitors.
The result extended St. Louis’s remarkable unbeaten streak to 17 consecutive matches in MLS play, a run that underlines their consistency throughout the season.
St. Louis now sit at 13 wins, 6 losses, and 8 draws, firmly establishing themselves as one of the most difficult sides to beat in the league.
New York came into the game in solid defensive form, having conceded just two goals across their previous four matches, with goalkeeper Ethan Horvath claiming three shutouts in that run.
The Red Bulls had also won their last two games, making this a result that will sting particularly hard for a side that appeared to be building momentum.
Rafael Navarro broke the deadlock as early as the fifth minute, redirecting Conrad Wallem’s header across the goal to give St. Louis a bright and confident start.
The game remained tense for much of the second half, but Becher capitalised on a New York turnover deep in the Red Bulls’ own half to double the lead in the 87th minute.
Ostrak then added a third in stoppage time, sending in a rebound to put the result beyond any doubt and complete a thoroughly dominant display from St. Louis.
Roman Bürki was solid throughout in goal for St. Louis, making four saves to earn his third clean sheet of the season and play his part in another well-disciplined defensive effort.
The result leaves New York sitting at 9 wins, 12 losses, and 6 draws, with significant work ahead if they are to turn their season around in the closing stages of the campaign.
For St. Louis, the 17-match unbeaten run continues to grow, and this latest victory will do nothing but strengthen belief that they can go deep when the postseason arrives.
