CITY SC delivered a statement win Saturday night at Energizer Park, defeating\u00a0then\u00a0Western Conference-leading Houston Dynamo 2-1. The victory extended St. Louis\u2019 unbeaten run to 12 matches across all competitions and set a\u00a0league\u00a0record with an\u00a011-match\u00a0unbeaten streak in\u00a0regular season\u00a0play\u00a0this campaign, surpassing LAFC\u2019s\u00a0previous\u00a0mark of 10. The result also handed Houston its first loss in five matches and snapped the Dynamo\u2019s five-match clean-sheet streak.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Simon Becher opened the scoring in the 23rd minute, netting his third goal in three matches off an assist from Alex M\u0103\u021ban, who picked up his first for St. Louis.

Head Coach Yoann Damet earned Coach of the Matchday honors for Matchday 22 following St. Louis\u2019 win over Houston.\u00a0As the league\u2019s youngest coach, Damet has guided CITY SC to a club-record 12-match unbeaten streak,\u00a0establishing\u00a0St. Louis as one of the hottest teams across the league. After collecting just six points through his first 10 MLS matches with St. Louis, Damet has\u00a0led a turnaround for the club,\u00a0surging CITY SC up the Western\u00a0Conference\u00a0table, earning 27 points over its last 11 league matches\u00a0which is\u00a0tied\u00a0for fourth place with 33 points.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
