St. Louis CITY SC dropped their first match at Energizer Park since September 2024, falling 1-0 to Austin FC on Sunday afternoon. The visitors jumped ahead through a strike in the 33rd minute, marking the first goal CITY SC has conceded at home this season. Following halftime, the teams competed in a back-and-forth affair until the match was suspended due to inclement weather in the 68th minute. Play resumed after a 55-minute delay, and although CITY SC outshot their opponents 16 to 8 and earned 8 corner kicks to Austin’s 3 in the match, the team’s comeback effort came up short. St. Louis CITY SC’s next match will be a showdown with cross-state rival Sporting Kansas City on Saturday, April 5, at 7:30 p.m. CT from Children’s Mercy Park.
