Austin FCvsSt. Louis CITY SC
ATX 0/STL 3
Things to say
St. Louis CITY SC beat Austin FC 3-0 at Energizer Park.
01
opener
Yeah, St. Louis ran Austin off the park, 3-nil at home. Never really in doubt. Clean sheet for Lundt too.
02
key player
Hartel was everywhere — four shots and pulling the strings. Austin had no answer for him.
03
hot take
Austin's done. Three-five-seven and getting paddled by a mid-table side? That's a rebuild, not a slump.
04
deep cut
Brad Stuver made four saves and still shipped three — tells you how exposed that back line was all night.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if City can carry it into the next one — they've been streaky all year.
The recap
St. Louis ran Austin off the pitch at Energizer Park, 3-nil, and it wasn't really that close.
Marcel Hartel was everywhere up top, peppering shots and dragging Austin's back line all over the place, while Benjamin Lundt barely had to break a sweat for the clean sheet. Brad Stuver made four saves in the Austin goal and still got hung out to dry — tells you how lopsided this one was.
Austin's now winless in form and sliding; CITY climb out of the basement with their best result in weeks.
