Story

On Saturday night in Foxborough, Massachusetts, St. Louis City faced the New England Revolution in a tightly contested match that ended in a 2-2 draw. St. Louis City took an early lead in the 23rd minute when Henry Kessler, a former Revolution defender, scored his first goal of the season with an assist from Marcel Hartel. This marked a significant moment for Kessler, who had not contributed to a goal during his time with New England. The Revolution quickly responded, equalizing just five minutes later with a goal from rookie Luca Langoni, who was making his first start. Will Sands, a new addition to the Revolution, provided an assist, showcasing his impact since joining the team. The Revolution then took the lead before halftime with a goal from Carles Gil, assisted by Sands and Ian Harkes. In the second half, St. Louis City fought back, and Simon Becher scored an unassisted goal in the 73rd minute to level the match. This was Becher's second goal in three appearances this season, highlighting his growing influence on the team. The match was characterized by strong performances from both goalkeepers, with Aljaz Ivacic making nine saves for the Revolution and Roman Bürki saving two shots for St. Louis City. Despite the draw, St. Louis City remains winless on the road this season, while the Revolution continues to struggle, holding a record of 2-2-2 against Western Conference teams. Both teams are looking to improve in their upcoming matches, with St. Louis City returning home to face Minnesota United next Saturday.
