St. Louis City SC ties MLS record with shutouts

St. Louis City SC defeated the Seattle Sounders 1-0 on Saturday, marking their fourth consecutive shutout to start the MLS season. This ties the league record set by the New York Red Bulls in 2007 and matched by the Vancouver Whitecaps in 2012. Eduard Lowen scored the only goal in the 15th minute from a free kick after a Seattle defensive error. Backup goalkeeper Ben Lundt made one save for his first MLS clean sheet, stepping in for injured starter Roman Burki. The Sounders faced multiple injuries, missing key players including Jordan Morris and Paul Arriola. A potential penalty for Seattle in stoppage time was overturned after a video review showed a handball by Obed Vargas.
