Becher and Ostrak each score late in 2nd half, and St. Louis beats the Red Bulls 3-0
Simon Becher and Tomas Ostrak each found the back of the net in the final moments of the second half as St. Louis City SC edged out the New York Red Bulls with a 3-0 victory on Wednesday night. The teammates scored late to secure the win for the Missouri-based team. St. Louis extended its unbeaten streak to 17 matches in MLS play.
New York Red Bulls, who had conceded just two goals in their last four games, entered the match with three shutouts from Ethan Horvath. Rafael Navarro put the Red Bulls ahead just five minutes into the game after redirecting Conrad Wallem's header. Becher then doubled the lead in the 87th minute, taking advantage of a New York turnover deep in their own half.
Ostrak completed the comeback in stoppage time with a rebound. Roman Bürki made four crucial saves to earn his third clean sheet of the season for St. Louis. This was the first time the two teams had met during the regular season. New York will face San Diego on October 10.
