St. Louis CITY SC kicked off Leagues Cup with a 2-1 win against FC Dallas last Saturday. Recent signings Cedric Teuchert and Marcel Hartel were on target with one goal each and Nökkvi Thórisson also picked up his first assist in all competitions.
Thórisson has recorded four goal contributions (three goals, one assist) in his last seven starts across all competitions. Simon Becher and Hartel made their CITY SC debuts, while Teuchert made his first appearance at CITYPARK after starting the last regular-season game at Sporting KC.
The win was St. Louis’ first in Leagues Cup play which coincided with the team snapping a four-match winless streak across all competitions. CITY SC’s record at CITYPARK is now 18-10-7 all-time across all competitions. CITY SC has scored at least three goals in 11 wins at home and has scored multiple goals in 17 out of 18 wins at home.
The upcoming match will mark the second time CITY SC faces a Liga MX team, after the team hosted Club América last season. FC Juárez sits in 15th place in the LIGA MX Apertura standings with one point after losing three of their first opening games. Juárez defeated FC Dallas 2-0 in their first Leagues Cup match of the season on Wednesday. With that result, both Juárez and St. Louis will advance to the Round-of-32 in the Leagues Cup.
