See you there!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>St. Louis CITY SC is coming off a bye week, but prior to the break, the team extended its unbeaten streak to nine games with a 1-1 comeback draw against Real Salt Lake. St. Louis controlled the match from the opening whistle but conceded the opening goal just after the hour mark, with Sergi Solans putting RSL ahead. Marcel Hartel came off the bench to equalize in the 73rd minute and earn CITY SC a share of the points. St. Louis finished the match with 67% possession, 20 shots and an expected goals (xG) total of 1.75.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Club-Record Unbeaten Streak\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>CITY SC\u2019s nine-match unbeaten streak\u00a0is the longest in club history. The run began with a 1-0 road victory over the Colorado Rapids and has seen St. Louis climb from 14th place in the Western Conference to seventh. Along with Inter Miami, who\u00a0are\u00a0also riding a nine-match unbeaten streak, CITY SC is one of the hottest teams in MLS\u00a0at the moment. During its current run, St. Louis has scored 17 goals, kept three clean\u00a0sheets\u00a0and conceded just eight goals.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Saturday\u2019s matchup features one of the more unique coaching contrasts in MLS, as CITY SC Head Coach Yoann Damet, the league\u2019s youngest head coach at 36, goes up against San Jose Earthquakes Head Coach Bruce Arena, the league\u2019s oldest head coach at 74. The two coaches have taken their teams on different paths this season, but both have guided their clubs into the Western Conference playoff picture. San Jose got off to a strong start under Arena, winning nine of its first 10 matches, while CITY\u00a0SC\u00a0has found its stride in recent months, extending its unbeaten streak to nine matches\u00a0across all competitions\u00a0heading into the weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>St. Louis CITY SC vs.\u00a0San Jose Earthquakes\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Historically, St. Louis CITY SC has fared well against San Jose, winning six of the seven all-time meetings between the clubs since their first meeting in 2023. San Jose\u2019s lone victory came earlier this season in a back-and-forth affair at Energizer Park, with the Earthquakes earning a 3-2 win. St. Louis has a perfect 3-0-0 record at PayPal Park, with the most recent victory coming in September 2025. Brendan McSorley scored his first MLS brace along with a strike from Marcel Hartel to lift CITY to victory, while Roman\u00a0B\u00fcrki\u00a0made nine saves in the match. Across seven all-time meetings, St. Louis has earned six wins,\u00a0scoring\u00a016 goals while conceding just seven.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>San Jose sits in third place in the Western Conference standings with 33 points, one point behind first-place Vancouver Whitecaps. The Earthquakes have a 10-5-3 record, scoring 37 goals and conceding 24. The Quakes have done well on the road, posting a 6-2-1 record, while also holding a strong 4-3-2 mark at home, though they are winless in their last two home matches. After a strong start to the campaign, San Jose has recorded just one win since May, going 1-4-3 during that stretch. The Quakes most recently played\u00a0to\u00a0a 1-1 draw at home against the LA Galaxy. Preston Judd leads the team with seven goals, while Timo Werner and Niko Tsakiris have each recorded seven assists for the Quakes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"St. Louis CITY SC\u00a0travels to\u00a0face third place San Jose Earthquakes in\u00a0a\u00a0Western Conference matchup\u00a0on Saturday,\u00a0August 15.\u00a0Kickoff is set for\u00a09:30&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":431949,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[93,88,90,89,427],"class_list":["post-431948","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-jose","tag-featured","tag-san-jose","tag-san-jose-headlines","tag-san-jose-news","tag-team"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/431948","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=431948"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/431948\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/431949"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=431948"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=431948"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=431948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
