Match report
St Louis City claimed a comfortable 4-2 victory over Minnesota United at Energizer Park on Sunday, securing three points in Major League Soccer's regular season. The hosts moved into fifth place with 41 points after 25 games, while Minnesota United dropped to 12th with 29 points.
Minnesota struck first through Tomás Chancalay in the fifth minute, but St Louis responded with three goals in quick succession. Daniel Edelman headed home in the 18th minute before Carlo Holse and Rafael Navarro Leal added their names to the scoresheet in the 22nd and 38th minutes respectively. By then the visitors had already surrendered the initiative.
St Louis extended their lead from the spot in the 57th minute when Navarro Leal converted a penalty, but Minnesota pulled one back just four minutes later through Kelvin Yeboah, who also stepped up to take the spot-kick. The game continued to open up with both sides making changes around the hour mark, though the momentum had clearly shifted.
And here's the thing about the statistics — St Louis registered 8 shots on target against just 3 for their visitors, while their expected goals figure of 2.85 dwarfed Minnesota's 1.75. The hosts controlled 64% of possession and created 4 big chances compared to the visitors' 3, but the red card to Kyle Duncan in the 80th minute meant Minnesota had to defend with 10 men for the final 10 minutes.
The result extended St Louis's recent form, which included a 3-1 win over Vancouver Whitecaps and a 2-1 victory against Houston Dynamo earlier in September. Minnesota's run of results has been far less consistent, with defeats to Dallas and Portland Timbers highlighting their struggles in the second half of the season. The hosts now have one foot in the next round of their campaign, while the visitors must regroup before their next fixture.
