Simon Becher netted a goal in each half to lead St Louis City SC to a 3-1 victory at the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday, Aug. 15, extending their record unbeaten streak to ten matches.<\/p>\n
City had taken the lead in the eighth minute on Daniel Edelman\u2019s right-footed shot from the center of the box. Becher headed home a pass from Eduard L\u00f6wen to make the lead 2-0 in the 27th minute. Beau Leroux would pull a goal back for the Earthquakes just before half, only for Becher to slice home his second goal in the 55th minute. City outshot San Jose 13-7, with seven shots on goal. That forced keeper Francesco Montali to make four saves, while City captain Roman B\u00fcrki was tested just twice, recording one save.<\/p>\n
With their unbeaten streak now at 10, St Louis City jump to fifth in the Western Conference on 29 points, just six behind conference leaders Houston.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Sporting Kansas City now sit dead last in the MLS after a two-nil loss at the Colorado Rapids on Saturday night. Sporting were shut out for the third straight match as they were down to nine men at the end of the contest. Midfielder Kwaku Agyabeng was sent off with a straight red in the 38th minute after a serious foul, while defender Moises Mosquera picked up a red in the 92nd minute when he denied an obvious goal-scoring opportunity, minutes after entering the ref\u2019s book for unsporting behavior.<\/p>\n
Colorado pelted the Sporting defense with 26 shots to Sporting\u2019s six. However, only four of Colorado\u2019s shots were on target. They broke through in the 65th minute with Reggie Cannon\u2019s first goal of the year. Rafael Navarro closed out the game in the 95th minute with his tenth goal of the season. Sporting were limited to just 26 percent possession in the contest.<\/p>\n
Sporting KC will look to pull the upset when they return home on Wednesday to host St Louis City. Kickoff from Sporting Park is at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Simon Becher netted a goal in each half to lead St Louis City SC to a 3-1 victory…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":434573,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[88,90,89],"class_list":["post-434572","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-jose","tag-san-jose","tag-san-jose-headlines","tag-san-jose-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/434572","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=434572"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/434572\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/434573"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=434572"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=434572"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=434572"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
